| The radio repeater I work at about a mile up the glacier behind Palmer Station. |
 |
| This time of year requires snow shoes... |
 |
| ...with crampons attached. |
 |
| The last few months have seen fierce winds with some at hurricane force. The repeater sled used to be positioned on the two wood blocks. Now I am in the process of digging it out to re-position it with two snowmobiles. |

| Palmer Station and Bonaparte Point on the left. |
 |
| Near the base of the glacier it gets pretty steep. |
 |
| This picture was taken in April when I arrived. The snow has filled in the rocks nicely. Much easier to traverse snow than rocks. |
 |
| The Antarctic continent about 10 miles away from Anvers Island. |
 |
| Waiting for this to calve off. |
 |
| Hiking up the glacier to continue digging out the repeater sled. The end of Hero Inlet is frozen over. |
 |
| Mt. William on this beautiful clear day. |
