Here's a Sol 22 image of the new trenching area at the extreme right edge of the work area. I brightened the shadow to show the whole trench.

So... when are we going to start seeing some *deep* trenching?

I'd think that we'd need to first remove the upper regolith from a reasonably large patch and then start working on digging directly into the ice substrate. If we ever want to get ice samples into TEGA and WCL, we'll need to be working directly in the ice layer, I would think.

So far, I've not seen anything deeper than down to the very top of the ice layer -- we hit it and then we go off to the side. I grant you, it may not be easy to dig through the ice layer, but from the looks of things (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), it doesn't look like we have yet even tried.
