I recently got the opportunity to go out with some divers here in Antarctica. By “go out with” I mean I went out to the dive hut (below) with them and watched their gear while they went under the ice.

Fainlly coming back up
I climbed this little mountain in order to take full advantage of the sunsets while we still have them down here. I was not disappointed.

Pioneers! O Pioneers
Come my tan faced children
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready;
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp edged axes? Pioneers! O Pioneers!
For we cannot tarry here,
We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger,
We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest depend. Pioneers! O Pioneers

Glamping
We went glamping* this weekend in NY’s Letchworth State Park with a collection of old and new friends from all over both NY and PA.
