After work, I walked on the trail with rumored seal sightings. From about 50 yards, I saw two Weddell seals lying on the sea ice. One of the seals scratched it's belly with a flipper and rubbed it's nose with it's tail. A third seal come up for air. It was all very cute. Both seals looked up whenever a helicopter flew overhead. The highlight of the experience was being able to hear the seal's call. It was an amazing sound.
At the morning janitor meeting, they announced which janitors would be heading to the South Pole to help clean things. Six of the ~20 janitors were selected. Sadly, my name was not on the list.
The temperature reached a reported high of 38F today, the warmest I've seen yet.
