Michael is the only person in Antarctica I knew of prior to coming to the Ice. He is a great friend of my cousin, Nathan. Thanks to the wonderful online time-sucker called Facebook, Michael and I started chatting virtually before I left the States. Michael is nearing the end of his first contract as a GA (general assistant) in McMurdo, but unlike most GAs he is not leaving in February. He recently signed on to winter-over in McMurdo. His job in the winter is to help with the maintenance of McMurdo's many buildings. He is supposed to leave McMurdo next October, but is hoping to stay around for another Antarctic summer.
