I know what it's like walking on guano. Not very pleasant isn't it ? All these are expected. I admire your guts. Interesting photos. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteActually we weren't just walking on guano, we were doing a research project which meant digging 2m deep holes in the guano.
ReplyDeleteWhat project ? And what do you find ?
ReplyDeleteI was guiding a postdoc researcher from a UK Uni who is studying climatic changes through ancient guano - ancient being around 10,000 years. So he had to dig down through the guano layers, down to about 2m or deeper if the guano was deeper,and take samples every few cm.
