Hey, I'm back in Physics class, done with AP Tests and back from St. Louis. So I got a question for you, how many candy bars have you needed to eat to explore the glacier?

Michael Lampert

Ha! well theoretically you only need a mega joule or so to climb the glacier, or one candy bar, but I have eaten a lot more than that! hope you had a great time in st louis!

i am working with two out of Iowa State and another out of Penn State and various others that come and go. they do radar, seismic recordings, and pump tests.

it is steamy hot when melting, you might as well wear a bathing suit. safety equipment is a helmet at all times with a light.
