Inside the tunnel clearly wanting a tripod. The tunnel face was about the size of an ordinary door. Overnight, the ice deep in the tunnel would try to close. The walls would move inward a couple of inches. You didn't want to leave tools leaning against the wall as they could get trapped and require chipping out. I gather some of the highest strain rates ever measured at the time in ice were measured in the tunnel.
