...the question is : Is Antarctica ready for YOU?? :D Loved the penguin videos and getting to meet your lovely family! I am looking forward to the great images you will give us of the West Antarctic ice sheet. My students participated in the LIMA Quest project last year and their focus was on the West Antarctic ice sheet, crevasses and the WAIS Divide. Will you run into Heidi Roop? I don't have to tell you to have fun...I know you will! Cheers, Lollie

Hello Lollie,
I have spent time with Sarah and Heidi as we all were here in McMurdo due to bad weather at feild stations.  I will be delayed until Dec 23rd until I get to Byrd Station.  Heidi left 2 days ago for WAIS and is there in a freezer working with ice cores.  Funny...got to Antarctica to work in a freezer.  
In that my team is in a holding pattern I am interviewing everyone who will talk to me on camera.  Watch for the posts. THE PEOPLE OF ANTARCTICA.  Their are some facinating people supporting sciece work here.
Today, I walked around McMurdo Station in a full tux with top hat and no one seemed to notice anything odd....
