Palmer Station, Antarctica 2007-2008

My 6 months as Sysadmin at Palmer Station, Antarctia. You can read about it at: serent.blogspot.com

Google Maps now has an aerial view of Palmer, and you can download a nifty Google Earth file which has station, glacier, and islands labeled.

Album: 2007-10-07 Boat rides and sleeping in a cargo container

We spend about a week traveling on the LM Gould, a small ice-breaking science vessel. The Drake Passage was fairly calm, but there was enough rocking to roll you out of your bunk if you weren't wedged in.
