Hi Paige!!!Right now here in McMurdo it is Tuesday at 1:44 in the afternoon. There in Texas it is Monday at 6:44 in the evening. So Texas is 19 hours behind McMurdo, Antarctica.
Here in Antarctica I have seen Adelie penguins, skuas (big grey sea gulls), some seals, and one killer whale. I also saw some sea animals, but they were in a small aquarium. 
It is hard to say what I like most, but I really enjoyed camping in the snow on top of the Ross Ice Shelf.
 
Thanks for writing.
Mr. B.
