1 comment The members of our team are now either home or still in the process of making their way there. Looking back at our time in the field here in Antarctica, I want to share some more photos that help illustrate some of my earlier posts and give you a little taste of what life in the field was like.
The Last Stop Before Our Field Site: Life at Siple Dome
Out here, sometimes doing what would be a basic task at home (cooking, for example) takes a little ingenuity and spontaneity…
No electric mixer handy? Use the power drill!
Your feta is frozen in one huge solid block? Use a hammer and crow bar to break off some pieces for dinner!
Compared to our field site, life at Siple Dome was luxurious…
The jamesway (a solid insulated tent with a wooden frame, heating and indoor comforts) at Siple Dome is the cozy center of life there.
Siple Dome has a rustic little outhouse, secured against wind with a cargo strap over the top. Though it may look primitive, this was luxury compared to our later toilet tent in our field camp.
I looked up Siple Dome and found this site. Good to see it again. How did you like the pull up bar? I was there with Drew and Silver. Nice weather there.
