Seren's Journey South


I recently worked as the Sysadmin at Palmer station, on the Antarctic Peninsula. I was there for 6 months, from Oct. 2007 to April 2008.

Palmer is the smallest of the three US-operated research stations on the continent with around 32 people this season. It.s also the northern-most and most surrounded by water (it.s on Anverse Island) which means it has the most wilflife. I'm keeping a blog (though I'm not very good at regularly writing) and taking lots of pictures, so come on in.
