That is pretty cool. What kind of scientific work are you doing there?

No matter how cold it gets, or how dark, or how good the seal looks in the moonlight . . . don't do it.

Not a scientist. I am just passing through McMurdo on my way to the South Pole station where I'll be the network engineer for the station for the next 12 months.

The bars were closed the day that I flew in. But they are open tonight! I just found out today that we landed in dense fog (which I knew when we got out) and the pilots basically did it using their instruments because the C-17 had 15 minutes of fuel left and he had no choice because we had been circling for a while. Oh and the landing strip was just a white snow runway on glacial ice shrouded in white fog. Fun times!

Heston: The penguins are not out right now and feather collecting is illegal :( I'll be gone to Pole before the penguins get far enough into the ice to be seen from McMurdo.

Orkin:
I was speaking literally. Penguin fluff. Collect a few ounces in a jar....

It would be a unique initiation item to add to my collection.

That'd be pretty hard for me to do Heston since I'm going to be stationed at the south pole when the penguins are at McMurdo :P

However if anyone wants a postcard or something postmarked from the south pole post office PM me your address and I'll send it your way!

I do have one picture though. Pegasus Field is 13 miles from McMurdo station so we had to catch a ride back after the plane landed. Because of the fog literally everything was white. The plane had no windows so stepping out into this with snow flurries whipping up around you was like landing on an alien planet, very cool:

Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to work in Alaska or Antarctica for this very reason.

I would love to take you up on that Orkin, but I'm a single Father of two. So unless they can come with, I'm stuck here for 11 more years.
