The Heat


While the temperature underground remains at 56 degrees constant, Base Camp is still having nights in the low forties. Tom can't get heat into the tunnel that Kobae has dug as it goes too far down and curves to the right so Kobae is out of sight and reach, plus, heat rises. Tom has strung an extension cord and lamp with a heat emitter into Kobae's abode. Tom climbs into his home each night to put a makeshift wall across the front of it to keep the heat in. Each night, Kobae charges out of the tunnel to fight Tom (because he has issues, well, they both do). Once Kobae emerges from the tunnel he feels the heat from above, stops to absorb it, eventually falling asleep under the emitter, keeping him warm all night. It is completely dark in Kobae's home. The light you see is from the camera flash.
