Just a small post about where we are in the world. It’s been a busy week, longer post to come soon.
In the big picture:
A an upclose view of Taylor Valley and Canada Glacier with one of our field camps:
And finally: the enormously, ridiculously, painfully long flight path:
So. long.

I just earned a lot of frequent flier miles.
Hello sexy man. 2 questions:
1) Are you single?
2) When will you be in the US again?
1. I am single in the sense that I am not currently bonded to anything. I am also single in the sense that there is only one of me. Though I’m not sure if that’s the context you meant. To be more direct: we’re all single in that we’ll all die alone one day.
2. When I have to be.
I’m generally able to provide more accurate answers when I know who’s asking them. Though I’m usually confused enough myself.
Sorry for the anonymity … but I just think it’s so interesting that you’re in Antarctic, and your pictures are amazing. I’d trade living in that climate over studying for finals any day. Maybe.
