I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Awaiting the Ship's Arrival. So, where is it and when's it going to get in? Well - it's due in on the 21st of December, but there's a lot of sea ice about at the moment. Click on the picture to see a larger image. You can track the ship by clicking here. And the latest webcam out the rear of the ship here. Posted by Frances at Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Wednesday, December 13, 2006. I'd al...

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Friday, April 21, 2006. Dressing up (again) and Drum Raising. Well surprise, surprise we've been dressing up again. This time with a sci-fi theme. This was the main reason/excuse for cutting my hair in the first place. The mohawk was just an inbetween stage (I was going through). Me as Ripley. Photo by Kirsty. John (I mean Spok) and Jean-Luc Piccard. Photo by Anto. Photo supplied by Anto. Photo supplied by Anto.

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Tuesday, October 31, 2006. On the 28th of February earlier this year the ship left us for the winter. The RRS Ernest Shackleton left the N9 relief site in poor visibility- too bad for them to stick around and travel nearer the base so we could give our traditional goodbyes. It has been 245 days since the sixteen of us last saw someone else, someone new or just someone different. Refuelling the plane. Photo by Anto.

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Sunday, January 14, 2007. RRS Ernest Shackleton and Signy Research Station. The ship ramming the ice, creating a small crack, waiting for it to get bigger and then sailing through the gap. A couple of Crabeater Seals discussing which way they should head. A couple of Adelie Penguins porpoising. Signy Research Station, on Signy Island which is one of the smaller islands in the South Orkneys. Civilisation here I come!

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Monday, September 11, 2006. Tour of The Simpson. The Ice and Climate Building is otherwise known as The Simpson Platform. It was named after Sir George Clarke Simpson who was a meteorologist with Scott (1910-1913) and later the Director of the Met Office (1920-1938). The Simpson Platform looking North with the two Met Masts on the left. This platform has four jackable legs, one set of stairs and a ladder at the back.

I know relief is over now, but I thought I'd write a little about it since it's the busiest and perhaps the strangest time on base. The RSS Ernest Shckleton at N9. Photo taken by me. Two Dobson Ozone Spectrophotometers. Out of focas photo. taken by me. The Sno-cat convoy taken from the air. who by? Christmas dinner 2005. Taken by Simon.

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Thursday, June 22, 2006. Greetings and best wishes on this Mid Winter's week. It's been a fun and eventful week so far, I'll write what's gone on so far and then add more as and when it happens. The 2006 Wintering Team just about to sit down for dinner. It was a bit touch and go for a while, isn't perfect (tracks need work) and the body was a bit of a Blue Peter effort, but overall I was quite pleased with the results.

I'm living on an ice shelf in Antarctica- Halley Bay 75° 35'S 26° 40'W. It's brilliant! Friday, January 27, 2006. At the same time, the email system was upgraded which effected network drives, as was the data server, and so everything was down for a while. I'm surprised the VHF radio wasn't being upgraded at the same time. then we would have been lost. Anyway, excuses aside I've got a few random things to write about. Post on the pool table. Andy up the met mast. Kirsty calibrating the uBaros. Sodar is s...

A friend excitedly rang me up the other day to tell me that she'd just been around an exhibition of our base (Halley V) on Cockburn Street in Edinburgh. This was showing art work produced by Simon Faithful. Follow the link for his website) on the Artists and Writers program. Well, every month we need to record our levels of? Which you can measure in the pee...
