Back on the Ice

I'm back on the Ice again after another uneventful flight south.
Ambient temperatures are sitting in the general region of -18C / 0F this time of the year.

The last plane flight out before the start of winter is in a couple of days from now, along with the first sunset in 4 months.

The other day I had an interview appear on CNN, here it is here...

    I am just curious; have you ever been to/spent a winter-over at the South pole? If not, do you think it would be a very different experience than being at McMurdo station?

      Yes, I've been to the Pole, but haven't wintered there.
      I know plenty of folks who have wintered over there.
      The big differences would be lack of scenery (flat white nothingness), even more isolated, smaller population so a lot more intimate, and a lot colder so less incentive to go outside if you don't have to.

    I stumbled upon your site while looking for a time-lapse video of 24-hour sunlight. I don't think such a video exists, but your photos are absolutely incredible!

    hi Anthony !

    I just saw your video on YouTube
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TemK6CF6lF0

    Just incredible ! Amazing footage and spectacular editing. My brother flies on arctic missions collecting and analyzing weather data, so I will forward your web links on to him. I have bookmarked the above video and will check out your other works soon. You are a master of your craft! Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication, so that us not-so-brave folks can enjoy the beauty of those extremely cold environs.

    Stay warm ! - Rob Tschudi
