Trekkers,
Ben Toth, camp manager, at Byrd Surface Camp
Imagine that you could climb inside a giant ball that is painted the color of milk. Inside that ball would be totally white. There is no horizon in the distance. The sky is white with clouds. The ground is white with snow. The view in the distance is white with fog or blowing snow.
If you ever watched the movie _Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory _think of the scene when Mike shrinks himself into the TV. Remember what it looked like with him in the white TV. That is what my world here at Byrd looks like much of the time.

If you stare at the picture long enough it can look like the photographer was standing up high on something. In reality he was standing about 20 feet from me on level ground.
Question of the Day
What's wrong with this picture? (Other than Mr. W needs a shower and a shave!)
At least I know where I am. Although, which way is North?
Mr. W
