POSTCARD | Antarctica
2009 August 25
This photo was taken in early 2004 at the end of my third summer season working in Antarctica.
We were returning from a 7-week stint in the Northern Prince Charles Mountains, the remotest and emptiest place I have ever been. The fact that we spent the entire time living in the field (read: camping), only magnified the experience. The flight back to our station took 3-hours, with a refueling stop at the Samson Island fuel dump. Fuel dump in Antarctica means one thing: a place with loads and loads of 44-gallon drums of Jet A1 fuel, all lashed down some how.
As you can see from the photo, it was one of those incredible postcard perfect days.
