Light from AntarcticaMia: Onward to another kind of Light
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/02/onward-to-another-kind-of-light.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. Onward to another kind of Light. I have so many pictures and as many stories but no more time. We have flights departing for the outside world almost daily. Mc Murdo Station has been shrinking in size since the 30th of January as hundreds are leaving weekly. My time will soon come too. With me I'll take my most valuable possessions; memories of friends, Korean vampire movies, adventure, being cold, being very cold, and the power of the human spirit. March 4, 2010 at 7:51 AM.

Wednesday, January 6, 2010. And Another day gone. Our summer days have been held captive by the wicked winds. He is the beast within each and every one of us as he clouds our view to the outside world. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ antarcticsun.usap.gov/. Boondoggle to Tent Island.

Light from AntarcticaMia: Behind the facade
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/01/behind-facade.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. The Castle Rock loop is a 9 mile hike that takes you to a plateau up across a mountain range and down along the sea ice. This is one of 2 authorized trails that you must travel in a group and with a radio due to its remoteness and Antarctica's unpredictable weather. Like all trails, vehicle or pedestrian you must follow the line of flags in order to find your way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ antarcticsun.usap.gov/. Boondoggle to Tent Island.

Light from AntarcticaMia: Survival Training AKA Happy Camper
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/01/survival-training-aka-happy-camper.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Survival Training AKA Happy Camper. Mandatory for those who will be out in the field, but for people like myself it is an opportunity to get out, have fun and learn something in the meantime. However, it is a lot of work, and even in the best weather conditions it is a challenge like no other. Yep, that's where I'll be sleeping tonight! The Pezquin and I are tucked in and ready to sleep, him into the wall, and me into my sleeping bag. I had more layers of Merino wool on me ...

Light from AntarcticaMia: The Adelie, the other penguin
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/02/adelie-other-penuin.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. The Adelie, the other penguin. Smaller than the Emperor these guys are so animated and expressive. Except on this very normal stormy day there was an intense fight within the group. One of them actually pushed another into the water! Although interesting to observe this behavior and the intimation battle between them, it was upsetting to watch. Kind of like watching a fight amongst children in the playground.

Light from AntarcticaMia: The M/V American Tern
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/02/mv-american-tern.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. The M/V American Tern. Simply known as Vessel. The term Vessel is used to describe not only the ship itself that brings cargo needed to sustain those who will remain for the winter months and ship out the waste from these summer months, but it is a term used to describe our environment during its entire stay here at McMurdo. For me the ship is a grand visitor from the outside and is a wonderful reminder that there is an entire world out there, somewhere, far away from here.

Light from AntarcticaMia: The Oden arrives!
http://antarctica-mia.blogspot.com/2010/01/oden-arrives.html
Wednesday, January 13, 2010. The Oden, the Swedish ice breaker treks down here every year making it possible for a supply vessel to reach us in February. Ahead of schedule she carries herself across the Ross Ice Shelf cutting up the ice over and over. It is the most graceful image my eyes have seen in a long long time. January 14, 2010 at 9:39 AM.
