1 comment MCMURDO STATION, ANTARCTICA– Thanksgiving Day weather at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, turned out to be pretty interesting, as weather always can change quickly here. Our holiday weekend greeted us with 50 mph winds, but it didn’t affect the great feast we had in the dining hall.
Kelly Carroll, a geologist for The Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET), grew up backpacking and hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. Interested in the outdoors, he was curious how the great vistas he was seeing were created. Kelly decided to change from a successful career in the corporate world to pursue an undergraduate degree in environmental geology.
After years with the US Geological Survey, Kelly entered a graduate program in hydrogeology at The Ohio State University, where his interest in polar research began. He studied lake ice in Dry Valleys, Antarctica and discovered an interest in teaching and sharing science with the public. Kelly switched his career again from doing science research to educating students and the public about the polar regions.

I am 14 and am writing a story where I crash a plane at about 45 S. 75 E., and have to get to Camp Davis for certain reasons. Got any suggestions? Right now it has been 23 days since I left the crash.
