With all this talk about ice features, I have to include an iceberg. I just think they are so powerfully dignified, like the alpha males of the sea ice. Every once in awhile we get to fly close to them, and they never cease to impress me. It’s really hard to get a sense of scale. From above, I often estimate an iceberg to be tens of feet high, only to fly down close and realize it’s hundreds of feet high. Really astounding. I think they should be called icebeasts instead of icebergs.

About Me
- Name: Stephanie
- Location: United States
Welcome to the 2010-2011 field season! My appologies for not keeping this blog going last field season. We worked almost exclusively out of field camps last year and I simply didn't have the capability to upload to this site. I hope to make up for it this year. We will be working out of McMurdo (the U.S. base), as well as Byrd field camp in West Antarctica, and ALE field camp in the Ellsworth Mountains. I'll also have the opportunity at the end of the season to work from an ice breaker ship called the Oden (still helicopter supported), to visit a site called Franklin Island in the Ross Sea. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the posts! If you'd like to see some video, check out our project website: www.polenet.org
