Thanks so much for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed reading the posts as much as I enjoyed writing them. This truly is an amazing place, not least for its wonderful community of people. I feel fortunate to have met Catherine, Chris, and the many others I now call friends. I suspect our shared experiences in Antarctica will remain our most memorable.
PS: I loved “Encounters at the End of the World” too, which our group gathered around the computer to watch at Lake Hoare the night of my January 13 post. (That’s Catherine in the top photograph by the way!)

Catherine told me about your blog. I learned so much about Antarctica from your blog. I became acquainted with so many aspects of life at McMurdo, aspects that I never had imagined when Catherine first headed to Antarctica. You do a fantastic job. I will miss your blog. You write well, present specific examples of phenomenal stuff, and provide insight, history, and contemporary news, with topographical explanations of the land that she was experiencing, plus links to great details. Reading your blog as well as seeing the DVD “Encounters at the End of the World” while Catherine was down there, and seeing photos by Catherine, Tim, Chris, and yourself, made her experience come alive for me way up here in the northern hemisphere.
