Hey Lesley,
You had t-shirt weather for Happy Camper!! And might I say, nice snow trench!! Sorry to hear things are backed up, but that tends to be the norm. I'm curious as to how far the sea ice edge is from McMurdo at this point in the season?? Have you been able to sneak a hike up Ob Hill yet?
Here's hoping that you'll on your way to your glacier very soon!!
Smiles! Michele
