The sticks that looked like they were marking fishing holes were actually reflectors we set up for our safety. We marked the igloo itself with all the reflective stuff we could find.
Details about this story are on the Weather forum. That's because we had some interesting weather phenomena while we were out there (freezing fog, ice fog, etc.)
Yesterday we had to dismantle the igloo to look for Eli's car keys. Didn't find 'em. We made the area into a little skating rink.

I love to watch the time lapse of the weather cam -- especially during the winter. I caught you guys out there looking for the keys. You were moving snow around for about two hours...and I was wondering what was going on.
Spending the night on the ice must've been cool. I love the noises it makes as it expands and contracts. Like a big old drum head, vibrating and moaning with every crack.
