More pictures - finally!

Here are a few more pictures from the field (I'm having computer problems-argh!). I leave tomorrow for Christchurch, NZ. I still can't believe that the adventure is coming to an end. The field work was great & the site was amazing! When I first arrived there was a penguin visitor walking and squalking near the helicopter pad (oh yeah I got to fly in a helicopter - so fun!)

I saw ventifacts and hypoliths - rocks sculpted by the winds and moss and lichen communities attached to the bottom of rocks, respectively. The glaciers and ridges and lakes were also breathtaking. Happy viewing! Can't wait to see everyone back in SF (I fly back the 5th - after some thawing out on the beaches of the North Island, NZ).
