Last time on the glacier we had to dig a 2 by 3m hole about 4m deep in
order to retrieve a plastic container and a steel structure. Being
inside the hole wasn't bad until we got out into a snow storm with
strong winds in the middle of the clouds. But at least we successfully
retrieved the equipment although it took us more than 4 hours.
