| Hiking home through the backyard. When I arrived in March it was a much harder hike as this area is all boulders. Thanks for all the pictures of me Doc Steve! |

| The month of July was brutal with storms. Sometimes the winds reached hurricane strength. |

| Working on the glacier can be fun! |

| I drove snowmachines during my two South Pole winters but the flat terrain was a bit boring. It's a lot different here! Also at the South Pole once the temperature drops below -60F vehicle are no longer used since the tracks immediately freeze to the ice once stopped. |
These pictures seem to share your delight working in this extreme environment. I guess that is what makes you smile! Thanks to Doc Steve for capturing the images that explain better what you do in Antarctica. I think you are brave and well-respected to have assistance in the shoveling that is done several times weekly. We had a brief shower today and I got wet, but not cold! Try to stay warm and safe during your fantastic adventures. Love always, andee
