Sharp pieces of sodalite invariably
flew straight at my face while hammering. No lasting damage was
done but simply wearing safety goggles wasn't quite enough. My
black customized Land's End "squall coat" did a great
job of keeping me comfortable out there. It features an embroidered
NASA patch: it's the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission logo which I created
several years ago (but that's another story). I purposely wore
either black, dark green or dark brown while on our rock trips
and sure enough, the dark colors kept me warm. I was also wearing
a Greenland hat which I bought at the Narsaq tourist office. |
