With the impending trips out to remote locations on their way, it was time for Cookie our station leader to take us out into the field for some crevasse travel training. Upcoming was two trips to outlying automatic weather stations (AWS's) for routine annual maintenance by the Bureau of Meteorology technician. The two trips were going to be following known routes but just in case we needed to be shown how to spot crevasses and how to cross them in vehicles should it be required. The day was fine and sunny but very very cold! it wasn't long before Cookie had us out of the vehicle showing us how to probe for slots.
