A tribute to Siple Dome - RPSC staff

This is Siple Dome camp.  It is upon and surrounded by the vast, white West Antarctic ice sheet.
This is an early-season photo of the 2011-12 camp staff: Silver and Drew. At the moment this photo was taken, they were the sole occupants of Siple Dome camp.  They have now been joined by members of G-097.

This is a late-season photo of the 2010-11 camp staff, after they have been subjected to the company of G-097 members for one month (an eventuality that was not in the plan for the season!).  Credit:  Kevin Emery photo.

We leave it to our dear readers to draw their own conclusions.
