Discovery Hut

I got to go inside Discovery Hut the other day. It was last inhabitated in 1911 by explorers Shackelton & Scott. Pretty insane on the inside with dead seals, penguins & sheep. Due to the extreme cold everything is very well preserved.

Kwaj on Ice

This is the 4 of us that also worked on Kwajalein together that are here for this Winter.

a pretty sunset from the other night this is an old sign we found when we were searching for the missing statue

missing carving

I got a series of emails last week from people in New Zealand looking for a Maori carving called a "teko teko" that was done in 1967 and donated to the McMurdo Recreation department. The search was on and we actually found it in a closet. They are now in the process of trying to figure out if and how it can be returned to the family of the carver.

March 26th Sunset
