It’s –27 °C, dipping below –40 °C with wind chill—well below the operating temperature of most of the commercial equipment we brought for this expedition. These great masses store enough water to raise global sea level by 65 meters should they melt entirely. Our phones, laptops, and cameras are rapidly failing.
