1. Photograph the face of the pit, or the soil profile you have removed and placed on the ground with the auger.

    Place a tape measure along the profile (in the pit or next to the auger sample profile you created) so that 0 cm is at the top of the profile to record horizon depths for the picture.

    Take another photograph of the landscape outside the pit or around the auger hole.

    Send these photographs to: the GLOBE Student Data Archive at the address given in the Teacher's Guide, or if they were taken with a digital camera, submit them to the GLOBE Student Data Archive electronically.
