   Wink Cool  Dear Mr. B,  SmileLaughing

             Why don't Polar Bears live there and only in the Artic?

             How long is the plane ride from here to there?

             Do you get Radio Satalite there?

             If you had a TV there would you get satalite were you are?

             What is temperature there?

             How hard is it to walk from place to place when it's snowing?

             How slow is your computer to get to the enternet?

             How deep is the snow in McMerdo?

            When you were in Happy Camper School how cold was it in your tent ?

            What did you have for your last lunch in the cafeteria?

            How many layers of clothes do you have to were to stay warm?

Lots of good questions!!!Antarctica is surrounded by 100's of miles of ocean so Polar Bears can't get here.
I spent about 24 hours in a plane getting here, plus a lot of time in airports.
Check the journals for the temperature but it has been around 32F.
With the wind and snow storm we just had it snowed probably4-5 inches, but the wind blows it around. So at some places there is no snow and others it can be waist deep
I am not sure about the satellite TV or radio.
For lunch today I had.... hmm... now I can't rememeber (I think some kind of chicken)... for dessert I had a butterscotch brownie. 
The most layers I had to wear was about 4-5.
Mr. B.
