Hi Mr B.,

I showed my Sister the WATZIT and suprizingly she guessed solar panel! Now here's some questions. But first is the other WATZIT an orca whale? Now back to the questions.

Since you can't bring a cell phone, how do you communicate with other people in Antartica?

stay warm,

Your sister is absolutely correct about the solar panel. Sorry it is not an orca, that was my first thought also. But check out the "nose" on an orca and a minke whale.
Here in McMurdo there are phones. The vehicles and planes all have radios and we also take hand held radios into the field with us.
Thanks!!!
Mr. B.
