Hello Period 2!Hi Savannah! I ran a 5K in McMurdo, but yes, Marathons do exist. I
believe there is one in January here at McMurdo and there have been some
at the South Pole.
Hi Abi! There are a few favorites (it's hard to pick just one), but
here they are: Skiing around Castle Rock, seeing the Weddell Seals at
Turtle Rock, seeing the penguins at Cape Bird, and snow mobiling on the
sea ice...ahh, memories!
Robert: Hmm. Antarctica is amazing, but I miss home too much. I think
Texas. I'd love to come back and visit here.
Natalie: I miss my friends and family the most. Oh, and breakfast
tacos. I wish there were breakfast tacos here!
Thanks for asking great questions! Keep 'em coming!
Sincerely,
Ms. Brown
