Another favorite activity while waiting for the footprint to finish is rock bowling. This involves pushing precariously placed boulders over the edges of cliffs. Or, in some cases, this involves smashing, shoving, and coaxing quite happily placed boulders into submission, which means, again, getting them over the edge of a cliff. Here is a photo of Mark and I trying to push a massive boulder over the edge.

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
