Day TEN, Continued<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Most evenings I have camped close to shore but yet on the ice.
\nThis is for more protection from the winds and general safety.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Day 10 Evening Camp<\/p><\/div>\n

Tonight Hobnails and Scellig will camp further out because of travel route to reduce spending another 30 -40 minutes travelling closer to shore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, this is a very dynamic geothermal place.

Day 10 Broken Ice<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots going on beneath the lake at the site of at least 3 tectonic plates.
\nThere is constant activity going on beneath the ice.
\nCamping on the ice takes a certain amount of adjustment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Day 10 Snow Covered Ice<\/p><\/div>\n

There is constant cracking and whomfing not unlike the sound of unstable snow whomfing at times of higher avalanche risk.
\nThe whomfing is usually followed by an extended cracking sound that can travel quite a distance. The first time I heard it , it scared the shit out of me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Day 10 Cool ice crystals on icy patches<\/p><\/div>\n

At this point I have got a bit more used to it and embrace it as part of this special, unique dynamic place.<\/p>\n

Editor’s note: Try HERE (FaceBook)  for a recording of singing ice<\/a>, or HERE for another example, with some explanation<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

How amazing snow temporarily shows our presence just like animal tracks<\/p><\/div>\n

Met a group of Russian tourists this afternoon travelling in 4 wheel drives.
\nIt reminded me of meeting the occasional jeep while travelling in the Gobi in Mongolia many years ago.
\nBy coincidence most of the jeeps in the Gobi were Russian made which makes complete sense.
\n 
\nThat’s it for now.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what tomorrow brings. <\/p>\n
