We have issues down here. As discussed earlier, weird stuff happens to your body. Both my roommate, Marci, and I have suffered from bad leg cramps in the middle of the night. Really bad. Someone suggested we sleep with a bar of soap. Whatever. Well, we tried it. Leg cramps have stopped.
I keep my soap tucked neatly between my mattress and bed frame.
Whatever works. It's a harsh continent folks.

Mt Erebus... Our Local Volcano
Mt. Erebus is the volcano in our backyard. It is active with plumes of smoke visible on a daily basis. This photo was taken on my second hike to Castle Rock and it was a particularly plumy day. I think a pyroclastic flow down it's icy slopes would be quite a sight, but I don't think that ever happens.
Scientists are up there on a regular basis doing their vulcanology science stuff. My friend was able to rappel down into the volcano. I think that would be neat. Maybe they need a private chef up there. Better bring my extreme cold weather gear. And a homemade stove.Cape Evans, The Ice Caves and Oswald!
My first penguin! I named him Oswald and I had everyone else on the tour group calling him Oswald. This little guy was cruising across the ice on a mission to nowhere. Seriously, where the hell is he going? All by his lonesome? Cutest thing I've ever seen.
