Packing Day

Leaving in less than 2 days… Time to pack! 2 trips to plan. Antarctica and the Falklands. Fortunately... I am the Master Packer!

The Great Migration South...

It's this time of year. About to leave for Antarctica. I will be leaving for Punta Arenas, Chile on Thanksgiving day (November 28th) with my friend/coworker Jim.

After a week in Punta Arenas, we may fly, weather allowing, to Union Glacier Camp, our base camp for 5 weeks. 

From there we will be flying to remote sites on the Icy Continent to perform maintenance on GPS/Seismic autonomous stations for the NSF funded project, POLENET.
