Safety First!!

In Antarctica, since we live in a protected environment, we have to be really conscious of what goes in the ground. Which brings us to today’s photo of the day:

The general chaos you see here is from a spill of dangerous material - BEER! These folks dropped a case of beer, and some of the bottles broke. The spill team had to come out and clean it up and make sure there wasn’t any environmental damage.

Back to work now - I’ll have more pictures later but I thought I’d just share this one with you today.

For the weather fiends - I didn’t catch the temperature today but I think it’s supposed to be in the negative teens if the wind keeps up, but might get up to around 4 degrees if it dies down.

    Nope, it was Tui, some NZ swill.

    There’s no Coors on station, actually.

    And, just in case no one says it: what a bureaucratic joke. It’s okay, I spent a few seasons in Mactown. Things like this picture remind me of some of the lamer aspects of life down there. On the plus side, I also remember downing entire cases of beer, including impromptu beer showers in Hut 10. I guess it all balances out.

    Have a great season!
