I'm so jealous that you're in Antarctica! It sounds amazing and some of your pictures that you've uploaded are amazing! I know a million people have probably already asked you this but what's it like?! I'm sure you're having a blast! Things around here have been pretty good; a lot different but a lot the same! We all miss you and are so excited and proud of you! Can't wait till you get back! And keep posting more beautiful pictures! (:

Hi Kim,Thanks so much for the thoughtful note. It's wonderful to hear from you. The hardest thing to capture about Antarctica in photographs, I think, is that the beautiful landscape goes on forever. I'd need a really WIDE angle lens to really catch the magnitude of the beauty. I'm at Palmer Station now on the western Antarctic peninsula and it's a great place. I just arrived today. The scientists here are all busy doing some really interesting and important research. Keep following my journals!
