        It’s already half buried. Just finish the job. You don’t need an iris if the wormhole can’t connect.

          They got O’Neill back after an asteroid buried the gate in season… 3? Let the event horizon clear out a cavity, then dig out.

            They bent the rules with that episode. It’s been a while since I watched it, but I think they had the gate on when it got buried and the rock molded to the active gate and formed an inpromptu iris. So the rock wasn’t blocking the initial formation of the wormhole.
