Greetings from the Admundsen Gulf! I am enjoying reading your journal and now can really relat to your experiences, especially to the late hours!

Do you have a gym on board? We have a very nice one. I run and do weights every other day.

Do you have a room-mate, a view, a bathroom? I apologize if you have posted about this, I may have missed it.

We are in light, patchy ice and yes, lots of fog here too.

All the best, and keep up the great journals!

Hi Gerty,
Yahoo, I hope you are having a blast, I look forward to reading along. 
We actually have two gyms on board, one is machines and weights one cardio, but alas I have not yet found time to use them.  I am sleeping about five hours for every 24, and have not made the time.  With so much science going on I want to see EVERYTHING.  I go to sleep and wake up thinking I have missed something.  I also think I have gained fifty pounds, food is not onyl a staple, but a social experience not to be missed.
Ice, I am so jealous, take lots of pictures.
Yes to the room-mate, shared bathroom between four women, our room is HUGE, and I don't spend hardly any time in there. 
Thanks for following along.
