Archive for March, 2007. McMurdo, on the way home. March 5, 2007. Ok, so I’ve been sitting on this post for nearly a month…). The rest of the flight from the pole back to McMurdo was uneventful. I spent a good hour staring out the window at the passing mountains. Underneath – only the top of which poke through the snow and ice. The ice flows are amazing to see from the air. The thought of ‘will I ever see this again? I went and asked the load master if I could go up, but there was already someone up there.

January 25, 2007. The above photo is me standing at the winch control for “the drop” – which is after all 60 DOMs have been attached and we lower the remainder of the string (the black cable there) down the final 1500km down into the hole.

Pretty much stays put, while the geographic pole moves each year. Well, ok t...

Archive for January, 2007. Laquo; Older Entries. January 31, 2007. My shoe laces seem to come untied easily when I’m outside. What’s up with that? Yup, It’s time to leave. My flight north to McMurdo is on the 1st, which is tomorrow. But since I’m working nights, it’s more like the day after tomorrow in that I have another work day at the end of which (when I usually go to bed) I’ll be getting on a plane. Posted in south pole. Sparkling world, Grid north and the Sun as a 24-hour clock. January 30, 2007.
