Katie Joy、Recon Team, 29th December 2012, Graves Icefield
Woohoo - today was the first day since the 19th December (when we moved to this field camp site) that we have had relatively calm winds, without driving snow. Finally the tents have stopped flapping, which brings some peace and quiet to camp life. Although we weren’t able to move to our new field...

We collected 44 meteorites today, the most we have collected in a single day this year! Today's collection site was the same as the previous few days, the youngest in a sequence of end moraines at the base of Larkman Nunatak. A picture from...
Tom Sharp, Dec. 27
It was Christmas Eve for ANSMET G-058 and the wind was really blowing. You could hear the drifting snow hitting the side if the tent. I had trouble getting to sleep, listening to the constant sounds of small ice crystals impacting the tent next to my...

Unfortunately, we are still stuck in the wind storm here. We have been here for ten days and could only go out to meteorite search for just a total of several hours! We heard good news from the main team...

Predictably today the katabatic wind is still blowing hard from the south at about 30-35 knots preventing us from moving campsite to a new icefield, and once again we have been tentbound.

Again, today the recon team were tent-bound, lying in our sleeping bags all day due to the strong katabatic wind storm that picked up in the night. It has been blowing whole day with winds from the south driving small...

Stan Love Larkman Nunatak camp 2012 December 26
On the International Space Station, the arrival of any visiting vehicle is a big event. The same is true in a field camp in Antarctica.
Today a ski-equipped Twin Otter airplane delivered the remainder of our fuel and supplies that the LC-130 Hercules...
Rob Coker, Larkman Nunatak, December 25, 2012
The public tale of the 2012-2013 ANSMET Expedition, funded by various Institutions interested in acquiring Knowledge for its own sake, has been told elsewhere, most prominently in our public wireless reports. Here, today, with the last vestiges of my humanity and sanity in tatters, I feel...
