26 hours of air travel over more than 3 days and I am glad to be home with my family.
Last, but not least, my final underwater video that shows how oceanographers collect data and seawater all the way to the bottom of the sea!
Because our flight out of Antarctica was delayed one day, I had a chance to explore McMurdo Station and go hiking on a glacier
After thousands of miles and 7 weeks, the last day and the last mile are the longest.
This video documents the most amazing wildlife encounter I have ever had.
PolarTREC Teacher Captures Video of Flying Penguins!!!!
With the TransAntarctic Mountains on one side and the active volcanoe of Mt. Erebus and Ross Island on the other, McMurdo Sound is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

A holiday meal, midnight sun, a birthday party, going out again in the Zodiac and I got to pick a seal’s nose. All in the first day of 2009!
