Ghostly tales that I'll Never Tell



McMurdo Station Antarctica is known for many things, for instance, the in depth science research but also for the great parties that it hosts. Halloween was no exception and is quite the big event as the first official organized party. I was amazed at the high level of creativity that graced the big gym. I spent the entire night on the dance floor working off all of the delicious pastries that are served at meal times.

Again, we always seem to end up at Cesar's place, but by 4am I escaped and headed to the computer lab to get some work done and to send some emails. After a quick breakfast at 0530 we were rewarded with a light and lovely snow fall. Rewarding because not only does the clean white snow blanket the ground covering all of the impurities and quiets the air, but finally it is warm enough for it to snow! As some of you may not know, I only learned this from living in Alaska, but it can be too cold to snow!
