week. Crazy when you think about it. The weather did permit for the
last two days and we got two brilliant geology days in visiting 10
sites. Some fantastic flying and landing sites and some interesting
geology (including what we have called some igneous conglomerate....)
And we only broke one cable on the skis which was good :-)
On saturday, our private twin otter left us and our own private LC130
arrived to whisk us back to the sprawling metropolis which is McMurdo.
A quick pack up of the tent and some goodbyes to Drew and Silver who
have been BRILLIANT hosts over the last 18 days at Siple Dome. Thanks
Guys!!
And so to town. Showers, beds, dark rooms at night, lashings of food
and a large dose of saturday night Gin and Tonic. Chris has shaved the
monster off his face but Tim's is still lingering for the moment. Now
they don't look like Twotter boys any more, it's more like a schoolchild
who hangs around with an old tramp.
