You look great. And...Patrick and I would like to thank you BIG time for the beautiful and thoughtful pewter Plant a Tree ornament! It is a perfect addition to our home and we both like the idea behind the purchasing of it! What a nice surprise from my cutie Laura. It has been a treat to read your blog (the first blog I've ever read) and see your photos. The one in Christchurch brought back memories for me. Take good care and Merry Holidays! Love, Ms. Cobb and Patrick Dear Laura,

All that snow and cold and wind makes me miss my Minnesota home, but I'll bet Minny feels downright tropical compared to Antarctica. Enjoy each day! Keep the stories and photos coming!

I'll see what I can do about getting a picture of the sea ice. The sea ice runway will stay until about December and then they'll move flight operations to either Pegasus Field on the permanentish (10,000 y.o.+) ice or else to the land-based Willy Field. We like the sea ice one because it's only a couple minutes to town, while the others are farther away. Believe it or not, by December the ships will be docking nearly outside the window of my dorm. Right now, we've only got a couple days til the last sunset. I've been so tired I have yet to see the sun down - even when I've stayed out pretty late it's been early twilight, but it hasn't stopped me from sleeping!! Hi Dave!

Great shot of you in the C17, btw! Fleet sounds like exactly the sort of eccentric the ice is supposed to attract (hmm, wait) - of course, you want to stay on his good side in any case! I would've loved to see (read: steal) pics of the rippled sea ice for class, but then again, I've yet to integrate a bunch of my own photos into lectures. (I've got Greenland from the air, but the Transantarctic is slightly more impressive!) Guess it'll have to wait. Just hope that the landing strip is still there come the end of your deployment - have you seen what's happened with Arctic meltoff this year? The NW passage is navigable, for Pete's sake! (Without icebreakers even!) So where are you guys daylight-wise? It's close enough to equinox I'd imagine you're still getting normal day-night cycles, but I've heard they're short and white nights can't be far away. Keep us posted! -- Dave Wooo! Ice!
