kawelch in Antarctica: January 2007
http://kawelchinantarctica.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 28, 2007. I was picked to go on a Sunday morning cruise on the Coast Guard ice breaker, Polar Sea. Poor Nik signed me up for the lottery for this special event, but he was not selected to go. It was a great trip! Posted by kawelch @ 8:22 PM. Saturday, January 20, 2007. Posted by kawelch @ 8:13 PM. Sunday, January 07, 2007. Ice breakers and penguins. The ice breaker has been working the channel for the resupply ship to come in next month. All of this activity has brought adelie penguin...

kawelch in Antarctica: December 2007
http://kawelchinantarctica.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 27, 2007. The antenna made some interesting sounds, but the dome itself sounded like a drum. Each panel in the dome is made of a flexible material and as the wind blew, it sounded like a percussion instrument. I would like to go back when it is very windy to get the full experience of the drumming sounds. Posted by kawelch @ 12:40 PM. Wednesday, December 26, 2007. Posted by kawelch @ 10:33 PM.

Thursday, February 15, 2007. Posted by kawelch @ 4:34 PM. Monday, February 12, 2007. Posted by kawelch @ 12:05 PM. Saturday, February 10, 2007. I keep going on about water and wildlife. It has been a good year for both of those things. There were emperor penguins around last night, which I saw from a distance, but did not get close enough to photograph them. They were gone by the time I walked to Hut Point today. Did you notice the seal at the bottom of the picture above? Posted by kawelch @ 4:31 PM.

kawelch in Antarctica: December 2006
http://kawelchinantarctica.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 29, 2006. This picture was taken near the adelie penguin rookery at Cape Royds yesterday. I saw penguins, seals, and skuas. The penguins have chicks now. They are doing better this year now that the big iceberg has drifted away and the parents have a shorter distance to go and forage. Going portrait refers to turning your blue food tray vertically in order to accommodate more than 6 people at the round tables in the Dining Facility. Skua is also a verb meaning to take your unwanted items...

Friday, November 23, 2007. One of my jobs is to help with pies. We made seven pies this year. It's was more than enough for the 22 people we had here for dinner, but isn't the best part of Thanksgiving the leftovers? Posted by kawelch @ 12:49 PM. Posted by kawelch @ 11:37 AM. Tuesday, November 20, 2007. I'm at Lake Hoare. We had weather in McMurdo this morning. Nothing serious, but lots of snow and low clouds. The helicopters were on a weather delay, but we finally made it here! Sunday, November 04, 2007.

Wednesday, September 24, 2008. We have three students on our LTER team from OSU who have not been to McMurdo or the dry valleys before, so there is a general excitement in the office. It should be another great season. Posted by kawelch @ 3:32 PM. View my complete profile. Canada Glacier at night. Where is the water?

Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Now it's too hot. The weather certainly can change fast around here. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that I was explaining (or complaining) about how cold it was, like the kind of cold that freezes the insides of your nostrils? The kind of cold that makes your eyes water and freezes the tears to your cheeks? Posted by kawelch @ 1:43 PM. Friday, November 24, 2006. Living next to Canada Glacier. Posted by kawelch @ 6:02 PM.

Monday, October 30, 2006. Posted by kawelch @ 5:20 PM. Sunday, October 22, 2006. Today was a day filled with more training and preparations. Kelly and I went to our Dry Valleys Environmental Protection briefing and our Communications briefing and Kelly went to ATV training school while I worked in the lab. We also picked up our radios and camping gear. It was a busy day. It's so great to be here and we are very excited to go to the field on Wednesday. Posted by kawelch @ 11:04 PM.
