Andrea Burke cooking in the tent.
Andrea Burke tends one of the tent's two cook stoves. The large aluminum pot was continually filled with snow, which the team melted to meet its water needs. Burke holds the infamous bag of scallops that the team tried so hard to finish (see Polar Discovery, Day 21).
