like sand across a desert,
bright white light blinds,
wind sends shivers down our spines,
and still we trek across this crystallized world,
all for the love of science.
We
set out to crack the ice,
used an ekman dredge device
and pulled up some cold macrophytes.
We
analyze samples and we may find,
with carbon dating, keep in mind,
this sediment may be quite senescent,
its history likely reminiscent
of slowly melting glaciers.
