Back to the Frozen Volcano	An early-season night flight for some work on Mt. Erebus.
Forms of Snow	More from later trips to Erebus. Ross Island is home to a striking diversity and beauty of ice and snow features.
An Easy One	A trip to Cape Roberts and Cape Ross: an anomalous field trip, since my tasks were simple and stress-free.
On the Sea Ice	A surveying job on the sea ice outside of McMurdo.
Glacier Work	Measuring the movement of two glaciers in support of an ice core drilling project.
An Incredible Place	Finally made it Cape Royds. Some photos here of Shackleton's hut and the penguin colony.
Mullock Glacier	A day trip to a glacier south of McMurdo to install a set of GPS campaign stations.
The Middle of Nowhere	The WAIS Divide camp was set up this year out in the boondocks of Antarctica, and I was fortunate enough to spend a few days there.
Taylor Valley	Work on streams and a glacier in the gorgeous Taylor Valley...named for Griffith Taylor of Scott's Terra Nova expedition, whose bicycle is still at the Cape Evans hut.
