Friday Photo (68): Geologists in the Field – Reaching the Summit

This photo was taken in Jiangsu province, China. We had climbed up a steep hillside taking rock samples every few meters. This was the moment we reached the top of the cliff and stood still to catch our breath.

Send us your favourite photos of geologists at work (or rest!) in the field
