Dr. Katarina Abrahamsson, Dr. Melissa Chierici, and Dr. Agneta Fransson lead the team of Swedish ice researchers. While everyone was collecting ice cores they taught Jeff Peneston an important new Swedish word. "Fika" is a casual way to refer to a coffee break. The trick to a successful Fika while on Antarctic sea ice is to have something to lean or sit on (like the ice block in the photo). And you must have a very well insulated thermos to keep the coffee hot! On the sea ice, near the icebreaker Oden.
