I am officially at Patriot Hills! I hope I can give this experience justice. It’s an incredible place with incredible people. Don’t get me wrong, McMurdo is great, but staying at a camp, even a camp as big as this, is a completely different experience. Mike tells me I love it here because I don’t have any friends in McMurdo, maybe he’s right! I’ve always had a hard time making friends, I’m such a quiet person. ;) Whatever it is, I love everything about this place. Above is a quick little map to show people exactly where the Patriot Hills camp is in relation to McMurdo. I’ve stuck the South Pole in there too. The distance from McMurdo to Patriot Hills is about 2000 km.

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
