Well, we've made it to Antarctica. The first stop on our way out to the WAIS Divide field camp, is the central town of McMurdo Station. McMurdo is the largest "town" in Antarctica and has over 1000 people during the summer.
This is where McMurdo is (Red dot on the bottom of image):
We got here a couple of days ago, and will be here for a about a week longer getting all of our gear together for WAIS Divide. We will also be spending some time taking safety classes and doing a little sightseeing! I'm hoping to get some nice shots of penguins or seals.
Here are some pics:

Everyone is getting anxious and excited to get out to WAIS Divide and start drilling some ice core!
