I will try and post more photos soon. I'm closing with a photo of me and Mt. Erebus the southern most active volcano in the world. Taken Sept 24 at 7 pm Love to all and happy October.

Nacreous clouds. These clouds form about 20 to 30 kilometersin the sky only in exteremely cold areas. The coloration is caused by the chemicals in the ice crystals difussing the light from the setting sun.

Antartica- Cold, White, and Endless.....

Hi everyone, I'm going to post a number of pictures each with an explanation. Hope you enjoy them, I'll sign off at the last posting

Hello everyone, Sorry I havent posted anything for three weeks but not much to tell. The weather here has been cold, no warmer than -8 and often windy and snowy. We have had wind chills as low as -55 below. The bright spot is the sun . Daylight now measures almost 10 hrs a day, and growing at the rate of 20 to 30 minutes a day. Soon with warmer weather and light I hope to begin giving you a better sense of what this place is really like. The facilities are very nice, comfortable beds, t.v. and refrigerator in every room, very good food and fun and interesting people. The vast majority of the people working down here have been coming to work in this place for years. 7, 9, 12 years is not uncommon.Truly a hardy lot but they all seem to love it. For me its going to be 1 season and out. Thank you all for your e-mails, wonderful to here from everyone. Love for now.
