Warmists return from the Arctic, still complaining about how cold it was up there

Q&A: Polar explorer Adrian McCallum (Wired UK)
Everything took a long time because you were constantly having to take your hands out from your mitts to write things down or attach or adjust instruments so it really was a continual balance between getting the science done and keeping your fingers. An additional issue we faced was that because the ADCP was deployed for over an hour the hole in the sea ice we'd drilled would start to freeze-in so we often had to retrieve the ADCP then clear the hole then redeploy the ADCP making it a longer and more tedious process. It was always a relief to crawl into the warm tent at the end of a day.

Martin H & I agree re frustration that snow doesn't change colour with temperature eg white>lilac>purple> black so one can 'see' deep cold!
