Hey Mr. Gillette I was wondering if you are at McMurdo yet. If so, then does McMurdo have any differt or unusual facilites? How long do you get to stay there before you have to go?

We arrive in McMurdo, aka, MacTown on Saturday morning, and we'll be here till the next Saturday, weather permitting. We will then head east nearly 1,000 miles to the WAIS Divide field camp where we'll spend another 7-10. The facilities here are much like that of a small town. Cafeteria, library, dorms, greenhouse, coffee house, gym, etc. There has to be stuff here for people to do since there is such isolation. Great question!Cheers,~Gillette
