Winter...
We waved goodbye to the ship amidst bellows of orange smoke from our flares.
I drove a snowcat back up to a much quieter, more laid back, winter base.
Since then we've had the traditional melt tank party (13 of us crammed into a 1.5m square tank before the summer accomodation building is closed down for the season). Photos to come.
Tomorrow I'm off for a week of camping 50km from the base. Ice climbing, abseiling, exploring and trying not to get tooooooo cold. I will write at length of my adventures when I return. Sorry for the poor blog keeping. It can only get better!

Tamsin has just set off on a new adventure. She is southward bound once again, this time headed to the fastest warming region of Antarctica, the peninsula. Glaciers there are melting, possibly revealing undiscovered resevoirs of frozen cheese. Tamsin can't wait to find out!

- I'm an Antarctic Meteorologist, working for the British Antarctic Survey, living at Rothera Research Station. Rothera is on the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the fastest warming regions of the planet. But what does that mean for the base cheese supply? Are the days of frozen cheese numbered? I'm about to find out...
