And two days later, after some orientation and getting my Extreme Cold Weather clothing, I'll head to McMurdo Station in Antarctica (lovingly known as the "Ice"). There I will spend the next four and a half months as a shuttle driver. I'll explain more about my job in a later post, once I know more.

I will miss everyone and my little house on Frazer Lane. But I look forward to making new friends and experiencing the most isolated continent in the world.
