DC on The Ice: Marching orders
http://dc-onice.blogspot.com/2008/12/marching-orders.html
DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Well, the time's finally come to return to New Zealand. Our plane is supposed to leave around 9:30 I think. It's a C-130 Hercules, so it'll be a looong flight- getting to Christchurch late afternoon. I'm going to be pretty sad to leave this place. The only consolation is that I'll be coming back next year. I do have to wait 10.5 months for that though! Most of the time we've been at Scott Base, wh...

DC on The Ice: October 2008
http://dc-onice.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Thursday, October 23, 2008. A couple of Maps. Just some maps to show where I'm going:. This one shows the relative distances compare to NZ and the south pole. Just as a comparison, when I went to Darwin a couple of weeks ago, it was 5300km direct from Wellington. I'm not sure if that means that Darwin's far or Antarctica's close! I've annotated some of the key places that we'll be going to. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Shooti...

DC on The Ice: Stay of execution
http://dc-onice.blogspot.com/2008/12/stay-of-execution.html
DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Just an update- our flight has been put back till Saturday now. There was a mechanical problem with the plane this morning, which they fixed, but not to the standard that Boeing want for passengers or something, so they're working on getting approval. Anyway, we'll be coming back on either a C17 or a C130 Hercules on Saturday- fingers crossed. Photos to come later! DC on The Ice 2 - 2009 Blog.

DC on The Ice: Skiing in Antarctica
http://dc-onice.blogspot.com/2008/12/skiing-in-antarctica.html
DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Sunday, December 7, 2008. So I know its been a while, and this may be my last post from the ice (I'm scheduled to leave on Wednesday). But most of our work's been around base, so there haven't been many photos. And I've been living it instead of writing about it! The president of the Ski Club arriving! The throng of onlookers. We were told to wear something shiny and a nice hat! Crossing the tape at the bottom.

DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Friday, December 12, 2008. Two trips to Willy's Field. Also based at Willy's is the LDB project- where they send Long Duration Balloons way up into the stratosphere in the hope that they'll get into the polar vortex- winds that whip around and around Antarctica for a month or two each summer. The balloons manage to stay up for 30 days, and can circle Antarctica a couple of times! S the pressure of it ramming into Ross Island ...

DC on The Ice: Evening bike-ride..
http://dc-onice.blogspot.com/2008/12/evening-bike-ride.html
DC on The Ice. Chronicling my Journey to the fabled land of Antarctica. Oarsum. Monday, December 8, 2008. Ok, another quick post with some photos. This evening Naomi and I went for a bike ride across the hill, past McMurdo, to Hut Point (the site of Scott's Discovery hut). From there we walked up the Hut Point Ridge Trail for a bit, before getting bored and deciding to bike some more. Oh, and my flight's been put off a day, so now heading back on Thursday, sweet. Being saintly in front of Mary.
