Grunt & Verycold
You know, the way ice behaves under a load is something we need to keep sharp if we’re setting up a forward base out there.
Absolutely, ice’s compressive strength drops sharply once it’s loaded unevenly. We need to map the load distribution and ensure the surface stays flat; otherwise, the ice will fracture under the weight of the base. Keep the calculations tight and double‑check the ice thickness before we start piling up.
Got it, keep the load even, check thickness, no surprises.
Understood. I'll monitor the load and thickness continuously. No surprises expected.
Good. Keep watch. We don’t want cracks.
Got it. Monitoring conditions. No cracks expected.
Keep it steady.
Steady.
Stay steady.
