I would guess just go away and the ice will freeze back over. Done!

my fingers and toes hurt just looking at those pictures. Now is that all ice or are you digging through the ice to get to the soil on the bottom?

was that the pipe line from Northstar or Oooguruk? I moved a 2250 to Oooguruk during the building of the island

Would imagine according to the wetlands act all the spoil's have to be moved to high ground and left there....nice pictures.

Great pictures! I was wondering how the hell a long reach could break through the frost until I saw that it was ice.
