Waiting in the cafe for the next part!

I have just been briefed on how to survive walking on a glacier. There are many ways to die!
The problem when you fall down a crevice is your head! Turns out as you fall down your head gets wedged in between two walls of ice, not pleasant. We're taking a break currently, but next we are going to see the rescue equipment and practice saving people who have fallen into a glacier
We were taken into a room called logistics. It is essentially an enormous warehouse filled with equipment for rescues in the Arctic. The box on the left contains all the gear needed for a glacier rescue, assuming someone (me in this case :p) has fallen down a crevice. The scenario was played out on some cargo containers; the 'victims' stand at the bottom of the container while the team set up the pulley system. The rescuers send down the 'rescue pants' that I had to be pulled up by... it was not a pleasant experience for my tender zone. |

Not a big fan of the blogger app, so I won't be live updating any more.
