Please say "hello" to Chip, the DOM team's engineer extraordinaire! Chip arrived at McMurdo on the same day as the rest of the team took off for Lake Fryxell. While we were at Lake Fryxell, Chip was busy completing adjustments to this amazing Reverse Osmosis machine he designed and built himself. Stay tuned for an upcoming journal on the process of Reverse Osmosis and more on the machine Chip built.
Chip is in Antarctica for a brief time, only three weeks, but he is packing a lot into this time- Happy Camper School, a few days out at Lake Fryxell, a trip to the penguin rookery at Cape Royds, seal sightings, and a whole bunch more! He is hoping to return next year for a longer period, but this year he is anxious to get home to start skiing with his family and enjoying the holidays with his 5-year-old son and his wife.
