We left McMurdo Station at 4:15pm local time on Thursday, 2/18/10 and arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand at 9:30pm. It was dark and raining with temperatures in the 50s.
After lots of flying, I’m scheduled to arrive home late Saturday morning, 2/20/10 Eastern time.
I leave Christchurch tomorrow afternoon (2/19 here, 2/18 Eastern) and fly to Sydney, Australia; Honolulu, Hawaii; Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL; and finally Newark, NJ.
While looking for information on what I can expect on my (possible) upcoming summer in Antarctica I found this site. It’s definitely one of the best I’ve found that deals with average daily life down there and is probably the one that’s made me most excited about going. Thanks for doing this.
