I finally posted the last of my pictures from my trip, including my days in McMurdo on the return trip. I’ll try to add captions at some point, but as classes have started, such things might not happen for a while.

Well, it’s good to be back home. My flights went well. I was a little surprised that New Zealand actually makes you ‘check out’ of the country, by having you fill out a form about how long you stayed, etc. They allowed me to leave though, so that was a relief. […]
Hi All,
This is the last post for this trip, unless something interesting happens on my trip back to the states. I just checked in and am waiting to board the plane in a little over two hours.
Yesterday was fun. I finally found Serap when she was over at the CDC to get her […]
Ended up going to bed early yesterday, I guess the train ride made me sleepy. After breakfast today, I packed up my stuff, as I had to switch rooms. My new room is much bigger, so I have no problem with moving. After that, I went down to the square for coffee […]
Hi All,
Yesterday, after posting, I met up with some guys from Madison, on their way to the pole to work on IceCube stuff. We talked a bit about the status of things and went out to dinner. We went to Valentinos. (Glenn, it’s right down the road that you mentioned to go […]

Well, I just cleaned up my room (took the sheets off the bed, I didn’t really move in), and now I have two and a half hours until I need to get on the taxi to the airport. Can’t really go very far, but I don’t really have much to do anyway. I […]
Hi again,
McMurdo was fun today, but I’d still rather have been at the pole. Here’s what I did today: After an early breakfast, I went over to the Chalet (the NSF main office) to find out about when my flight to Ch’ch (pronounced like that guy who was in “Up in Smoke” with […]
Hi All,
This is a picture of me at the new (as of Jan. 1) geographic pole, that was taken of me yesterday morning, before I left. I’ll have a full resolution one (suitable for framing! available when I get back.

Well, here I am, back at McMurdo. It took us a lot longer to get to the base from the ice runway than it did last time. That’s because the two icebreakers have broken up the ice that we used to drive on. It’s all in preparation for The […]
