Greetings from the top of the world! 

Hi Mr. B.  What is it like down there?  I have some questions for you.  Does it ever get dark in the winter?  And, do you wear a snowsuit?  There are so many cool WATIZITS!  I'd like to come down there sometime. 

From,

Here in McMurdo from April until Aug the sun never rises, so it is dark most of that time. When It is cold and we are outside for quite awhile we wear Big Red (the big red parka you see in some of the pictures. I'm glad you like the WATIZITs. It is certainly possible for you to come down here when you get older. That would be a good goal to have.Thanks for writing.
Mr. B.
