Journal

To bring in the New Year, the camp had a day off! What did we do to enjoy the day? Many of us caught up on much needed sleep and then spent the day relaxing and goofing around. To enjoy the nice weather, my friend John and I went golfing. Antarctic golfing is a bit difficult primarily because the golf balls can freeze and then shatter when you hit them with a golf club. We also have to chase the golf balls as they roll across the ice sheet! I am not exactly sure why we have a set of golf clubs out here on the West Antarctic ice sheet, but it was quite fun to host an Antarctic Open! My new nickname is Tiger!

Happy New Year's from the icy south!

Fetching the Ball
How do we get the ball? We run and chase it as it rolls across the snow! Golfing really can be good exercise!

Into the Powder
My ball landed in a deep snow drift! It obviously didn't roll very far!
