Loser Plateau - More useful surface stuff

The Expo website features not one but two pictures of 161H: a closeup and one with a Brian for scale. We thought we should get the job finished, so we pottered back over that way. A gemse very helpfully stood on the skyline for quite a while and was very photogenic. Anyway, after some searching, AJ located 161H, quite a bit lower down than we'd looked on the previous occasion. So we tagged it as 161H. Anthony then used his homing beacon to find his namesake entrance and we surface surveyed 161E->161H->161G, getting rained on half the time. One of the stations on the survey was a part-drilled spit hole above a hole with a cold draught blowing out of it, as the 161 entrances do. Entrance is wide (4-5 metres) and lowish. The right hand side of the entrance (as you're facing the hillside) slopes downwards at about 45°. Anyway, having put the data in, we found out that we'd located 2004-13.

There's nearly no data about this, don't know if anyone's been inside. The entrance is ~30m from stuff in KH. [more comments in Norwegian]
