Leslie,
Happy New Year!
I am really enjoying your posts and I hope you are making memories to last a lifetime. The most valuable advice given to me before my PolarTREC experience was to "take time for myself". I hope that you take time to "breath-in" and completely enjoy the experience.
My question for you and the team regards the historic role the Beardmore Glacier played in the early exploration of the continent. Do you and the other residents at the field camp ever discuss or think about walking in the footsteps of Scott and Shackelton? For all of the effort you put into traveling to the camp by helicopter, did you contemplate what it must have been like to cover the same distance by dogsled or "man-hauling" sledges? Are there historic remains of these early explorers at the Beardmore?
take care, play in the snow and make memories,
Jeff
