Friday...sort of
Well, I suppose to most of you reading this, it is friday. That is what the computer wants you to believe, at any rate. But here on the continant, it is saturday, my last day of work this week before sunday, my only day off. So it is my friday too... kinda.
Anyway, there has been alot going on these past days, and indeed this whole last week seems to have sped by. Science lectures, toilet scrubbing, hiking, and floor mopping, all combine to make the time pass quickley. I hope to write more later, but for now some pictures will have to do, since I have laundry running and need a shower before going to the film festival at 8:30 and the live band playing at the bar at 10:30. Tommorrow is a trip out to Cape Evans, where Scott's Hut from the 1912 expedition to the south pole is. If the weather holds I'll make a trip out there tommorrow.
Anyway, here are some pictures from last weekends hike to Castle Rock.
That is Castle Rock in the distance, the hike out is about 3 miles from Mac town over the hills and glacier.
From the shoulder of Castle Rock, Mt. Erebus in the background, at 13,700 feet the southern most active volcano in the world, and only a few miles from McMurdo. No, I'm not allowed to climb it....
Looking north over the Ross Sea.

Looking at your photos, it appears the habitat is not conducive to Brass Monkeys... Kem
Sorry to hear your not "allowed" to climb that mountain..... however, no one is allowed to climb the Hyannis Hotel and attempt to remove and "relocate" the Giant Halloween Pumpkin / Jack-O-Lantern, but it didn't stop your brother from trying.......
What is the policy on making snow angels?
Have you sent me that penguin yet? I check the mail everyday in anticipation!
