Panorama from the tower on 7 August 1998

We mounted an Olympus 35-mm camera with a 50 mm lens at the 10-m level of the 20-m met tower. Each day, from April through September, a member of the ice team climbed to the 10-m level to take a picture. Combining these photographs gives a somewhat jerky time-lapse video showing the evolution of surface conditions.
