An evening down a Crevasse

Last night Steve Boulton, Jim Elliot, Mark Borin and myself went down a crevasse which has been open for quite a few years at the top of the ramp next to the base. It is about 400 feet long and as you can see from the photos it really is an amazing sight to see.
We spent about an hour down there walking from one end to the other admiring the ice and its structure which has taken years to form.
Through the summer months the crevasse melts which causes the stalactites to get longer. But now winter is nearly here they have all frozen solid again.
