Hi Molly,Thanks for the questions!!!
We eat normal cafeteria food here. I have not heard of anyone ice fishing here. Although some scientists study the fish that live in the oceans around Antarctica.
I like being able to see new things, meet new people and learn alot.
I would like to do and see more.
It all depends on how cold it is and how long we could be outside. Anytime we travel away from McMUrdo we war and take alot. You have to assume that you could get caught in a storm and not be able to get back for awhile. So you go prepared to survive the cold.
I am not sure if they were technically whiteouts, but we have been in some storms where everything was white and you could not se very far.
