WAIS Divide, Antarctica, Jan. 1, 2010 — Today was a regular day of work starting at 7 a.m. and finishing around 4 p.m. Much like our December 25 celebration, we had a big dinner to celebrate New Years Day. Appetizers started at 4 p.m. followed by a wonderful dinner featuring shrimp scampi, prime rib and mashed potatoes. Since most of the people at WAIS are from the continental United States, we decided to celebrate midnight for each of our time zones. We started our first countdown at 6 p.m. (midnight on the 31st on the East Coast U.S.), followed by one at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and so on. We didn’t want to leave anyone out!

I love this, it is so amazing to see people working on such facinating stuff. Especially with our global warming and the north and south poles supposidly going to FLIP soon.
I especially like the fact that a close high school friend is involved in it. Great to see you Maria Bank. You were and are AMAZING.
I am proud to have known you!
