My computer and camera equipment are warmed under my jacket before I go to use them. Back here at McMurdo station I have any number of warm (often too warm ) buildings in which to sit and type. We do have a satellite phone for emergencies and lots of other things in place to help in case of trouble. As you can imagine everyone here is pretty careful about where they go, what they wear, and what they are doing that might get them into trouble with the weather conditons - which again at the moment are warmer than at my home in Maine. That is why they call it summer in the southern hemipshere.Thanks<BR/><BR/>Peacezachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352768755336901830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000942436625609573.post-6730626085150200922007-12-12T05:58:00.000-08:002007-12-12T05:58:00.000-08:00ZachSounds like Happy Camper School couldn't have ...Zach<BR/><BR/>Sounds like Happy Camper School couldn't have been easier. Is the sun up 24 hours like the north pole?<BR/>How will you be able to communicate during your time on the ice shelf? Won't your computer get too cold, or do you have a method of keeping important gear warm? What about emergencies? Do you use a satellite phone? Can't wait to hear from you! <BR/>Peace <BR/>meganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
