Always summer, never warm.
This is the mantra painted in the Coast Guard's
Polar Sea Icebreaker. While enjoying warm summers up north I've chosen a second chilly summer in McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

big balloons

New Year is nearly here and our LDB (Long Duration Balloon) facility has been letting off enormous balloons to celebrate. Actually, they launched three of these monstrous white pillows the size of football fields with nearly no weather or launching problems, to conduct a great amount of scientific research up in the sky. If you are interested in their projects, or tracking the progress around the continent, you may access that information by clicking here: Long Duration Balloon Projects in Antarctica.
