Strange Press

Today I open my inbox at work to find a link to this article, which is about a science group we support out of McMurdo. Apparently they got a bit turned around in the field and had forgotten to bring the GPS coordinates with them but were able to call one guy's girlfriend with their satellite phone. The woman in the US googled the coordinates needed for the group to get back on track with their GPS unit.

That link was sent out to my co-workers which another email with another link to check out. I guess I realized that "we" (meaning Antarctica, I guess) were getting lots of publicity this season. I just had no idea how much until this article came out about how two guys got in a fight at the South Pole and were sent home.
