As we prepared to leave the abandoned airbase, one of my friends takes a last look at an old crane. The fluorescent orange gear she is wearing are insulated overalls that we wore over our ski jackets to keep us warm from the icy wind-chill when on the water. I had five layers of clothing on comprising thermal underwear, shirt, sweater, a goose-down ski jacket as well as the overalls which incorporated a lifejacket. Whenever we went ashore we felt like astronauts walking on the moon.
