We had a few glitches with class 6 - slow to no connectivity - so class 7 is here.

Tanner wants to know if you liked sleeping in the qunizee?

Ms. Wheeler wanted to know if it really feels cold?

Megan said she liked the pictures of the penguins, do they small bad?

Mariana wants to know if you are having fun.

Braxton wants to know how much temperature difference is there between McMurdo and the outlying weather stations.

Tanner- I did enjoy sleeping in the qinzee.Ms Wheeler- I think it was colder in Blanco the other day than it was here.
Megan- Yes it did smell alot. Jonathan commented that he didn't think he could work with penguins because the smell was so strong- actually it is not the penguins but all of their poop.
Mariana- yes I am.
Braxton- It of course depends on which station you look at. But at the south pole the last I looked it was close o 20 below and here it was about 30 above- so a 50 degree difference. You can look at this website at found real time data from the stations
