Cynthia,
It’s wonderful to be here, we are working really hard but are definitely enjoying ourselves too. It’s a blast talking with all the scientists down here about their work and soon we’ll be traveling off station, tomorrow I’m flying in a helicopter to the Dry Valleys.

Rob–
It was a C-17 plane, much more luxurious than a C-130 ski plane (well, at least faster).
We’ve been cold at times, but when the sun is out it can be quite warm.
So far, no frostbite.

Wow, it looks really cold there. I love seeing the plane (is that a C-130?) on the ice. Hang in there crew and good luck!

Congratulations All – I know it was hard work just to get there. But I see by your grins, it was worth the effort.
Have a successful time and tons of fun!
