Your welcome! I am home and still think about the sights that I saw. I hope
to have a video up soon about the ice core drilling.

Betsy, the weather ballon really did save the day. Without it, we might
still be there for another 2 weeks because that is when the next flight
came. I had to amend that article because the guy who repored the height
to me did not use binoculars so I had to find the guy...{read more}
Barney, you are going to love your field experience. The blogs take a
{read more}long time, but you learn so much doing them because you have to ask a
lot of questions. Very close to a reporter's job I think! Thanks for
reading them.
Vicky, have thought so much about you during this adventure! I will say I am using the quilted boots daily and some of your other advice was right on, though I can' mention it. The drilling is so wonderful to see! I was just recently moved to Princess Vicotria's tent after she left because it is...{read more}
Lucky for me the cook at camp is great! No elk lips like I had imagined. This is quite a camp experience with snow everywhere. I have so enjoyed seeing the science. You would love it!
{read more}I am most looking forward to seeing the ice core drilling!
{read more}Thanks! There is some conservation of fuel up in camp as well.The hot water runs on the generator's waste heat and that also heats the main dome. You shovel snow into a snowmelter for drinking and to take a shower!
{read more}You must be out of school! I wanted you to know the first night in my tent I put a hot water bottle in my sleeping bag and it leaked! I pulled out my liner and the bottle and 4 hours later they were both frozen stiff. Made me think of your boots! I can't post pictures so that is a bummer. I am...{read more}
There were a few tense moments! One of the days in Denmark I rented a bike and went sight seeing. I asked for directions back to my hotel and people kept asking if it was by the lake. I kept saying no so they would point me in this one direction. I rode for 90 minutes(it took 15 to get there)...{read more}
Hey Jackie! Musk ox probably tastes like roast beef if you don't know what you're eating. We had soup yesterday with brown meat and I was afraid to ask. It was really tasty so I know it is in my head! Tell Dennis there is a group picture that he is in with a crazy hat on the bathroom door! See...{read more}
