Can you guess what is in this mystery photo? Why would we have this type of object in our field camp? Happy brainstorming!

Today was a monumental day for the DISC drill and science crews. We finally reached a depth of 3,000 meters. We have now collected 3,000 meters of ice and are still going strong towards our 3,330 meter depth goal. The 3,000 meter was celebrated in the arch with smiles and a toast to our achievement

When I was told to be flexible in Antarctica, they meant be FLEXIBLE! There are times when our weather delays have been an exercise in patience. That was certainly the case during our seven day wait on Mt. Hope. The day we had our reconnaissance flight to Shackleton Glacier also had an LC-130

Even with all of our weather delays, we were able to get our reconnaissance flight to the Shackleton Glacier in last Wednesday, January 12th. Once again, the weather placed the possibility of the flight in jeopardy. We were originally scheduled to fly out at 10 a.m. However, the weather was overcast

As the Oden traveled westward, we knew our our days on the ice were dwindling. We had many miles to cover to reach the ice edge of McMurdo Sound and the Oden was contracted to complete the channel icebreaking work so that the N.B. Palmer and supply ships could reach McMurdo Station. Yesterday, we

After multiple weather delays, we've finally made it back to CTAM. We had fantastic weather when we woke up at Mt. Hope, but when John called CTAM, their weather was too bad for flying. For the next several hours, we called on the hour for weather updates. Finally, around 11:00 a.m., they announced

Solo faltan 10 días , y dejo el "invierno" de Houston ,Texas (promedio alto de los 50 grados F) para conocer el invierno de Barrow , Alaska (promedio -10 grados F)! Me estoy preparando! Dra. Tish Yager y yo estamos colaborando en el desarrollo de planes de estudio y de divulgación educativa sobre la
