The Longest Day of My Life
Things are crazy around here. The flights to the South Pole have been backed up for 5 days. McMurdo is crawling with Polies just lounging around, waiting to get out of here. Flights to a lot of the field camps have been held up too. There are Italians, Norwegians, and lots of people from other countries here. You can walk into the galley and hear 5-6 languages at any given time. Don't get me wrong... it's not all internationals. There are probably 1000 Americans and 200 internationals, if that. Still, it makes things interesting.Our last sunset was two nights ago... I snapped these photos just before I went to bed. The next sunset is scheduled for February 20th at 1:55am. The sun is expected to rise less than 30 minutes after sunset.
This is going to be the longest day of my life...
