Long time no post. Started off as just missing a week but then just kept not feeling like taking the time to get a post up so I decided to just take a break from posting for a while and get another one up when I felt up to it. Thanks to the people whoContinue reading “On Taking a Break”

On Camping
Hello everyone, first things first, I finally uploaded pictures!!! Some of them are as recent as this past Sunday!!! I also completely rearranged my photos page. The gallery on there was getting huge and unwieldy and apparently took a long time to load even back up north where there’s good internet (I thought it wasContinue reading “On Camping”
On Rest
Okay, I know it’s been two weeks or so since my last post. Last week I wasn’t feeling 100% so I decided I’d hold off on posting and just rest up a bit. Not a ton has happened in the last couple of weeks. Last Friday we had our monthly all-hands ERT drill. So everyContinue reading “On Rest”
On a Very Long Dusk
Well this post is a couple of days late so sorry about that. I’m still getting used to the internet being up an hour earlier than it had been so by the time I realized I hadn’t written my post the good satellite was gone. The skies continue to get darker and darker though it’sContinue reading “On a Very Long Dusk”
On Darkening Skies
Another successful/quiet week here at Pole. Like the week before there wasn’t a ton going on, though this week we didn’t have to make any preparations for Sunset Dinner. I’m still working on processing my photos, I’ll get them up eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later. One of my goals that I came down hereContinue reading “On Darkening Skies”
On Sunset and Bad Weather
Well this last week has been a mostly quiet one. We had our second long weekend in order to celebrate the Sunset, unfortunately it has been cloudy most of the time so we may not actually get to watch it dip below the horizon. That didn’t stop us from having the annual Sunset Dinner overContinue reading “On Sunset and Bad Weather”
On Falling Temperatures and Long Shadows
Hey everyone, sorry I’m a day late. I think blog posts are going to start getting shorter for the most part as there’s not really a lot of different stuff that happens from week to week. I’ll still try and keep posting every week though for the time being. That being said, this last weekContinue reading “On Falling Temperatures and Long Shadows”
On Socializing and New Friends
Okay, first things first, I apologize for the big gap between posts and this one will probably be on the longer side since I have a few weeks of stuff to catch people up on. Also, I have finally posted pictures! They are on the photos page so definitely go check them out if youContinue reading “On Socializing and New Friends”
On Daylight and Transitions
I’m officially finished with my first full week here at Pole! On Monday night the station transitioned to level green which meant we no longer had to wear masks when outside of our rooms. To celebrate, we had a little get together in the galley so we could meet people and learn what their facesContinue reading “On Daylight and Transitions”
On Temperature Checks and Small Aircraft
The long awaited moment is here! My first blog post from the bottom of the planet! I safely arrived here at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station yesterday a bit after noon. Not gonna lie, I thought my weeks in the managed isolation would seem like a long time but they were nothing compared to spendingContinue reading “On Temperature Checks and Small Aircraft”
