My off-campus trip for the purpose of morale-building occurred today. My time is sort of off because the trip occured during my normal sleeping hours. The trip was essentially a guided snowmobile tour of the sea ice. We stopped to look at seals a couple of times and our guide taught us much about safety with ice cracks. We periodically stopped to drill into the ice and ensure it was at least 30 inches thick. We crossed a two-foot open water crack and spent some time discussing it's safety. The highlight of the day was the Emperor penguin we saw hanging out all by his lonesome. Though, I'll admit, driving the snowmobile was good fun too.

I am so glad you got a new camera. Thanks for the photos.
you definately had a white chrismas. and ever other day!
Thanks.
So glad you finally saw a penguin.
I drove a snowmobile for the first time this year (March, actually) and it was quite the experience. Exactly what I thought, but WAY more fun than I thought it could have been.
(Somehow, I don't think they'd take kindly to you abusing their snowmobiles by jumping them, etc.)
