faces of antarctica

At Tia's party, I took many photos of some friends and acquaintances of mine who happen to be in my camera's eye. Every person here has their own particular reason for deploying. Some believe the common theme is the notion that none of us got our way in the 'real world' so we defaulted to make something work out for us in Antarctica. Others believe we all social outcasts. I tend to think we all simply share a quirky adventurous streak. The people here are at least half the reason I came back this year. So, here are some of the many faces in Antarctica:

tia, mac-ops (mcmurdo comms operations)

michael, carpenter helper

richard, senior food services materialsperson

julie, fixed wing assistant

andy, food warehouse materialsperson
