Louise left Philadelphia on October 31st and is now at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. She is part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration‘s GHOST team that will traverse across Thwaites Glacier and collect geophysical data to reveal subglacial geology that controls the ice dynamics. Louise will spend the next ~2-3 weeks at McMurdo Station to go through trainings and prepare all the equipment, food, camping gear etc to go on the 30-day traverse.
