relax and clean up while swimming in Hot Creek. Photo by Gilead Wurman.
The south side of Mono Lake is known for its tufa towers. Paoha and
Neggit Islands can be seen in the background. The tower deposits form as fresh spring water containing dissolved
calcium carbonate comes into contact with the alkaline water of Mono Lake. Photo by Gilead Wurman.

Lori Fenton, Jenny Ives and Joann Stock take a magnetic profile. Jenny (in front) carries the magnetometer and takes the readings. Lori Fenton is attached to her by a rope that is 10 m long and she measures the distance between measurements. Joann Stock periodically records the field strength and location of the profile using a hand held GPS unit. Photo by Matt Pritchard
Rowena Lohman prepares to measure the magnetic field. The computer is on her front and records the readings measured by the proton precession magnetometer which is at the end of the pole. Photo by Rob Clayton
Breakfast at base camp. The tent on the left was used for data processing in the field while the tent on the right was where food was stored and prepared. Photo by Matt Pritchard
