Cold glorious cold

Published at 20:33

I downloaded a weather report via my Iridium modem to find that -31c had been predicted overnight. It felt every bit that and we both woke with chilly toes. Tonight will be even colder.

Our route today took us uphill to the west side of the upper Rabotbreen and into a large snow plain called Fimbulisen. Lunch at the top was particularly cold as the perspiration generated by the long uphill in sticky snow was difficult to manage and cooled us quickly as we scoffed our hot noodles.

We're now perched on the edge of a descent into a long narrow gully that runs adjacent to Templefjorden's west side, reputed to be very beautiful as it descends to Sassendalen.

Mardi did brilliantly again today, like an old hand. I'm so glad we are are here together.

While technological solutions such as encryption and multi-factor authentication can help protect against unauthorized access to sensitive data, they are not foolproof defenses against determined adversaries. brainsclub.cm

Experimental research, observational studies, surveys, and case studies are common methods used to gather data and test hypotheses. Advances in neuroscience and technology have also enhanced the ability to study the brain and its functions, providing deeper insights into the biological underpinnings of behavior. These scientific approaches ensure that psychological theories and interventions are grounded in empirical evidence. mediazione familiare a piacenza

It is gratifying to learn that Mardi is exhibiting the tenacity and flexibility that accompany expertise by handling the challenges of the journey with such composure emoji. It must be of the utmost importance to have a reliable and competent companion alongside you in these remote, hostile environments.
