Kirk, I'm sure you have mixed emotions about leaving Antarctica. It's a beautiful place full of wonder. I have really enjoyed reading about your adventures. You've given us some great resources and new questions to find answers to. Well done! Have a safe trip home- and get some REST!:0 Lollie

HI Lollie,You are definitely correct about the mixed feelings. Sitting here talking to Shelley we are discussing where we go from here. I like to look at experiences, not as something being over but rather as beginning something new. One of the things I hope students learn from all of the PolarTREC teachers is that learning new things is an exciting adventure that a person can make happen for themselves.
As you previously mentioned, it would be great to have a Texas PolarTREC get together in the near future.
