Hi, it's me, Minako Righter. Today is Sunday, means everyone gets day off here in McMurdo.\u00a0 No flights going in and out today, so no staring at flight info screen to get update.\u00a0 Our flight is planned on Tuesday to go to\u00a0Shackleton Camp. So we have a couple more day here. Only update here is that the rest of the team members (Lindsay Keller and\u00a0Brian Hynek<\/span>) got to Christchurch NZ today! They will be coming to McMurdo in a couple days.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Alex, Duck, Jani and I went to "Pressure ridge" tour this afternoon.\u00a0 We rode a van to go to Scott Base where you can see pressure ridges and walk around (of course with skilled mountaineer guiding our way). Pressure ridges are created where the ice shelf and the sea ice meet. They are just amazing to see. Lots of different shapes, some goes up really high, some curves around. Beautiful deep blue color. Breathtaking scenery!\u00a0We also saw little more than dozen of seals along our way.\u00a0 Some pups and mama seals!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was warm this afternoon (around 30F), but got cloudy and windy while we were out there. Typical "quick changing" Antarctica weather. I got nice "practice" of the field.\u00a0 Only differences are 30~40 degree warmer than actual field…<\/div>\n
