Two weeks to go

I am still in Columbus, OH, but I have mentioned to several people (too many?) that I was going to attempt a blog from the ice this season. It's hard to imagine, but in two weeks I will be headed back to Antarctica as part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER field team. This will be my 14th field season in Antarctica. These days my field season is more like a "lab season", but working in Crary Lab in McMurdo Station, Antarctica, can be a great experience. For those of you who know me, you know that I still get VERY excited about travelling to my home away from home. At this time of year, I seem to do alot of shopping for coffee.
