I should point out that one of the reasons it was so fun to play in all of this snow was because you never got wet. My gloves and clothing were in constant contact with the snow, yet they never absorbed any water. Antarctica is an incredibly dry region, it’s the driest continent on the planet. If you tried to do the work we were doing in Ohio, you would be soaked in less than 5 minutes. This photograph shows our quincy, snow walls, and tents.
