I am back from West Antarctic Ice Station (WAIS). It was the most awesome experience so far - I got to experience real "deep field" of Antarctica. We even got a storm passing by with strong winds, blowing snow, low temperatures and poor visibility. Besides giving me a flavor of the "other kind of weather" the storm delayed my return back to McMurdo by a few days.
We did not get many sunny days at WAIS, but the once the sun did come out it was just spectacular! Here's a picture of our "great white" with a couple of sun dogs and the low hanging sun circling around the sky.
