Journal Entry
Given that we are so far away from food sources, we don't have any real wild animals at WAIS Divide. However, there are several animal suits in camp. Our zoo includes three gorillas, two penguins, one red panda, one moose, one unicorn, one skunk, and a bear. The bear was a hit in the arch. Our resident bear even helps with packing and logging ice cores! Dressing up and having fun is an integral part of surviving a long season at WAIS. We certainly have lots of fun and share numerous laughs throughout the season. It will be sad to see this season end in a couple of weeks!
