My functions on this trip will be similar to last time. I will work with the weather forecasters at McMurdo station, while doing some of my own work along the way. I'll write more about that later. I am essentially on my own for this trip, but at least this time there will be some people I know there.
I leave this Sunday...Columbus to Dallas-Ft. Worth to Los Angeles to Auckland to Christchurch. After arriving in New Zealand on 20 January, I should have two days there to recover and get issued gear before hopefully leaving for Antarctica on 22 January. Of course that all depends on the weather! I will try to post either in New Zealand (if I have time and anything exciting happens) or once I get to McMurdo. I will have about three weeks at McMurdo. My tentative return to New Zealand is on 11 February, then returning to the U.S. on 15 February.
Thanks for stopping by!

Admittedly I don't think that I'll EVER get to Antarctica. This'll be an interesting blog to keep track of. Safe Travels Dan!
why do you need to go to Antarctica, you can just come to Minneapolis - its just as cold!!! Maybe even colder! One of Thelma's friends is down there right now....don't know where though....have fun!
It's not even Antarctica anyway.. :p Thanks for letting me know this existed. I just finished reading up on your last trip. Take care Dan
True, but there's a good chance I'll actually get onto the continent this time around!
