Huck's Pics from Lake Vida

Home

Over the summer, my friend Huck went out to Lake Vida to do some work on a system measuring the temperature changes in the lake. So here are a few miscellaneous pictures from that trip. I can't remember exactly what he said each of these pictures were, so I'm going off memory....no guarantees for accuracy! This one is as they were approaching the Victoria Valley.

The Victoria Valley, home of Lake Vida.
I seem to recall him saying that Lake Vida is in the distance of this photo. This lake was only recently discovered, since it sits below a layer of ice tens of feet thick.
This unnamed ridge is called Gargoyle Ridge by the helo pilots.
Another one of Gargoyle Ridge.
