Today we started to dig the features. In the foreground Hugh and Holly began to excavate what looks like a large pit. We have quartered this feature so that we have four good sections to draw later and to work back from the middle to the natural so that we have the exact shape of the pit. Jon and Annie are working on two features in the in background. Annie's looks like a nice small pit and Jon's is still indeterminate.
Meanwhile, Chris is cutting a slot through the two large ditches that showed up last year in grid C2 and now located in this trench, grid A3. Hard going, and we know that they are deep.
Scott of the Antarctic wrote "My God, this is an awful place" and it may look very similar in this photo! Luckily, we work in a beautiful landscape and although it was very windy and cold (with sleet) we kept calm and carried on.
What will Dig Day #3 bring?
