Stef essentially scraped out the contents of the fissure from top to bottom. The fill was very loose and crumbly, probably having been damaged somewhat by the winter rains. It was very enlightening to see, after he had done that, that the fissure was itself only about 10cm wide. The confused mass at the top of it (f303) is only partly the fissure; the rest of it is sheets of accumulation, f304 through f306, that have split off from the main body and collapsed on top of the fissure, like sheets of ice from a glacier.
