Wilson’s Promontory or Yiruk Wamoon, 3 hours drive from Melbourne, Australia, is National Park with magnificent peaks, beaches, rainforest, and the world’s southernmost mangroves. A hiking and boating paradise, the promontory and surrounding islands are the exposed portions of a Devonian granite batholith.

We (@andrewmackintosh.bsky.social, Rachael Lappan and I) were lucky to spend part of this week at Brewster Glacier, New Zealand.

This trip was spent sampling recently exposed bedrock from surrounding & within a few hundred metres of the modern glacier.

For #FieldworkFriday, here’s some footage from one of my favourite field days - collecting samples out by Denman Glacier, East #Antarctica. Wind howling, ice crystals piercing the air, and lovely quartzy rock (which we sampled using an angle grinder). Sound warning for those with headphones!
