Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 46, No. 3, Pages 18 and 19:
WHOI scientists set up an isolated research camp in the cold Dry Valleys in Antarctica in December 2007 on a monthlong expedition to explore how the volcanic landscape formed and evolved. Below, the team dines in its less-than-spacious Scott tent: from right, volcanologist Adam Soule, graduate student Andrea Burke, geochemist Mark Kurz, and writer Hugh Powell, who filed dispatches with photographer Chris Linder for the WHOI Polar Discovery Web site (www. polardiscovery.whoi.edu). Above, Soule uses a device called LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), which beams a laser in a precise swath across the landscape. Reflections from every point the laser hits provide that point's precise location.
