To the South

"Socializing" in the LA airport

Touring around Christchurch to find BIRDS with Thierry


Little Shags pondering the hills of Chirstchurch

Seal team members Darren and Jess (in background) and fellow scientist (for fish) Brad (in background).  On the bus shuttling to board the C17


US Antarctic Program participants (scientists, support staff, and the like) sporting the bunny boots on the C17

In the cockpit, in flight!  The ice and world outside so white and blinding....


Kickin off the boots, layin' back, enjoying the throbbing of the giant


An icy landing...

and immediate loading onto the strangest man-hauler
next stop...McMurdo

  5. MARVELOUS photos. You really captured the otherworldliness of it all. Those bunny boots! That massive beast disgorging orange spacepersons. New camera equipment + your eye for journalism promise more exciting blog posts to come. So glad you're back!
