| It would be easy to track me down. |

| With a thunderous crash this iceberg broke off of the Marr Glacier and then drifted by the station. We named this berg Holey Joe. 2/3 of an iceberg is underwater so this was a huge chunk from the glacier face. Global warming. |

These pictures are very brilliant and some are focused on unique experiences, like the Holey Joe iceberg! That slim icicle was difficult to see at first, and when I did I realized what you meant. Nature is amazing. Enjoy your spring weather soon!
