The Time Has Come

So tomorrow is the day, Friday October 7th, when I will head to the ice via New Zealand. For the last few months I have been excited to leave, and tomorrow is the day. All my gear is laying in a pile, my bills cancelled for the next five months, and it is time to take on an adventure I have dreamed of for a long time. I will try to post pictures and updated writings on what's going on down on the ice, but here is a short intro. I will be living at McMurdo Science station on Ross Island at the edge of Ross Ice Shelf. When I arrive there will be only an hour or two of darkness per day. About a month in I will live in 24 hours of daylight for the next months. I will be living on the edge of a frozen bay and looking across at mountains. Stay tuned for more updates of my adventures in New Zealand and down on the ice.
