Preparation, Journey, and Arrival in Antarctica
I'm actually HERE! It's still sinking in. I'll post more soon about today's events, but for now enjoy the photos!!
A board at the CDC (Clothing Distribution Center) showing the ECW (extreme cold weather gear) that we are issued. I took most of what's shown and then some other things that weren't on display.
The women's changing room. This is where we walked in to find our orange bags full of appropriate gear according to what job we have. You exchange it for different sizes behind that maroon curtain.

Lenny and I in our seats alongside the wall on the plane. Lenny and his wife Rhoda have been so incredibly helpful to us first-timers!

I couldn't decide which of these photos to post, so I decided to post them all. As seen from the plane as we flew over Antarctica.
