As you can see from this short video, the logistics of setting foot on the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf turned out to be a real challenge and the first trip had both its ups and its downs. Nonetheless, Bindschadler welcomes the challenge and has high hopes for what his continued research on Pine Island might uncover. <p> For a complete transcript of this video, please click <a href='PIG-firstContactTranscript.html'>here</a> 10202 PIG Ice Shelf: First Contact
