A few pictures

Here are a few pics of what has been happening lately. Work is super busy and time seems to be flying by. Big Thanksgiving holiday is coming up this week. This means we get to gorge ourselves on low grade turkey meat and then enjoy a two day weekend. A special treat considering we normally only get one day off a week. My next trip is going to be to Mt. Erebus (the local active volcano) where I will be hanging out with a science group for a few weeks. I'm super stoked about the trip and would be lying if I said that I haven't been losing sleep because I get excited at night when I think about it. It is going to be super rad! Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Bull Pass hut in Wright Valley. A co-worker and I went out to clean up the place a bit to make it ready for the season.

Lake Vanda in the Wright Valley. It is Frozen...mostly.


Picture of the edge of the sea ice at Cape Royds. That is open water with the Royal Society mountain range in the background.



Cape Royds Adelie Penguin Rookery. Side note: Adelies are a lot cooler than Emperors.
