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.

if it is not one thing...

Usually our C-17 is delayed for one maintanence reason or another. Sometimes, mostly at the beginning and end of the season, they are delayed due to weather in Antarctica.

Today the C-17 is delayed due to a stabbing at the Christchurch Internationl Airport. And, we all feel so safe in the nice country of New Zealand.

In any case, our C-17 flight from Christchurch has been delayed because the airport is being closed. Passengers are being removed from flights and we are anticipating a late transport for our passengers going North.
