Extreme snowshoeing in Antarctica!Part of our beautiful day of snowshoeing on the glacier behind station.

Penguin footprints.

When in Antarctica, one must go snowshoeing. There is plenty of snow to go around. In the background is our friend Harold the Ice burg.That is me getting ready to take the Polar Plunge. It is tradition to do so when a ship heads North. You can see the very end of the ship on the right hand side of the picture.

Line handling duties. We get to help the ship for each port call.

Pretty nice carpenter shop for the size of the station. This is where I spend most of my time working on projects.The other side of Palmer Station.

Most everyone I know is North of here, minus the people wintering in Antarctica at the other stations.

One of many sunsets to come.

We went on a boating trip close to station and this is what we saw.........

A leopard seal floating on a small iceberg with Palmer Station in the background.

Meet Harold the iceburg, he is sitting not too far from station.

Palmer Station, Antarctica, home until the beginning of October.

Got up before sunrise so I would be awake for the first sighting of Palmer Station.
