Pinnacle mat located on the bottom of Lake Joyce in Pearse Valley. The depth is approximately 18 meters including 6 meters of ice that is covering the lake. Despite the thick ice-cover, sediment is able to make its way through holes and cracks that develop. The result is a sediment 'dump' on the bottom of the lake (which can be seen in the background of this photograph).

Explorers Club Members Way Down Under During a recent visit with our New Zealand colleagues, we had the opportunity to meet briefly with the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Rt. Hon. Jim Bolger and others in his party including Sir Edmund Hillary. Sir Edmund is an honorary President of the Explorers Club. As luck would have it, other members of the Explorers Club just happened to be present. Shown left to right are: US Ambassador Beeman, Rt. Hon. Jim Bolger, Sir Edmund Hillary, Robert A. Wharton, Jr. (Desert Research Institute, Reno, NV), Andrew Fountain (Portland University, Portland, OR), Dale T. Andersen (SETI Institute, Mt. View, CA).
