Today was a really fun day. We had a lab day today so I ran another one of my experiments. I am getting quite quick at setting the whole thing up. During the day, we saw some really incredible mirages across the sound. The images are called Fata Morgana. They form when dense, cold layer is below a much warmer layer. The light passes through and is bent in ways that create optical illusions. While it is difficult to describe in the picture, if you look to the left of the chimney, you will see what appear to be dark squares at the base of the mountain. They are not actually there. Throughout the day they got even more intense!
Later in the day, Dr. Hofmann gave a small talk to a group of people at an aquarium in Long Beach, CA. The band Condition Fun played before and after Dr. Hofmann spoke. You can see Sandwich singing and Isaac playing the bass.
Then it was time for our Halloween costume party. I dressed up as “Spider-man wearing a penguin costume.” Sandwich had these amazing fish costumes that her, Isaac and Brad wore for the party. They won best group costume!
Our friend Paul dressed up as a Condition Fun groupie! Here is Sandwich autographing his “In a Pickle” t-shirt. This shirt was made after Sandwich wrote a song called “In a Pickle” about the fork-lifts here at McMurdo.
We all had a great time.
