After returning all of our gear, I went to say goodbye to my friend, Brad. I decided to send him off with a smile so I wore the Pooh costume. He was pretty happy :) It was a great day.
I am a graduate student at Portland State University on my first research expedition to Antarctica. I am stationed at McMurdo station on Ross Island. Our research is focused on examining how temperature affects biological processes using the cold adapted Antarctic fish as our model organisms. I will be updating my blog as often as possible with stories and pictures of both the science and the non-science activities that we are involved in.

Today we spent most of the day returning our field gear. Here are some pictures of the Scott tents. These tents are almost identical to the ones that Robert F. Scott and his party used when they were making their trip to the South Pole in 1912. I think it is pretty impressive that we are still using the same kinds of tents they used 100 years ago!
