Todays the day I finally leave to Scott Base, Antarctica!
I was issued my clothing yesterday, which included (just to name a few) about 10 different pairs of gloves, a million jackets, scary moon boots and the essential item - the shewee - unfortunately I have not practiced using it.. hopefully I am a natural!
Lucky for me its meant to be 30 degrees today so dressing up in my extreme cold weather gear at the Antarctic Center and trooping across the tarmac to get on the Hercules at 11am could prove challenging... Maybe that will be my first goal - make it onto the plane without melting... or tripping. This is a pict of the flattering gear I will be wearing..
The weather is currently -3 degrees at Scott Base and it will be constantly daytime.
Off the the airport now! Finger crossed we are not boomeranged back to Chch!
See you in 7 weeks NZ
