*WEATHER

During field deployment, a Tinytag Ultra 2 temperature data logger was tied to a pole to record ambient temperature. As these data loggers are not protected from solar insolation, maximum temperatures are vastly exaggerated and provide only a qualitative approximation of ambient temperature trends. Overall, we had variable weather conditions at Whitehall Glacier with strong winds up to ~70 knots and temperatures to −30°C with blowing and precipitating snow, while weather conditions at Mt Erebus Saddle were surprisingly pleasant with overall calm, sunny conditions.
