Some
views as Elmer and I try to find the trailhead.
Elmer
at the start of the trail.
More
of the beginning.
An
informational sign on Arrival Heights.
The
first hill we saw. Can you tell what direction the
wind blows?
The
path ahead.
See
our footprints? It looks kind of like I'd expect the
moon surface to look like.
The
view behind.
Here
I am tying my shoe. Don't want to trip!
Some
of that slippery path we had to walk up.
You
can see the wind blowing the snow here. Fearsome!
Views
of the apples from outside.
Inside
the apple. Nice to get out of the wind!
Beautiful
scenery, no?
Me
taking a picture of Elmer, taking a picture of me.
Smile
for the camera.
Those
islands on the right are called Tent and Inaccessible.
A
photo-shoot of Elmer. Work it!
A
side of Erebus I don't usually see.
Castle
Rock.
Does
this help with the perspective?
I
climb towards the rock.
Elmer
stays behind. Wimp.
The
view back from Castle Rock to McMurdo.

25:
Here
are some of my table-mates. Here's what's going on
just outside of the frame of this picture: I suddenly
stop, realizing I am about to ruin the picture by
walking in front of the camera. This is a bad idea.
There are several people behind me who do not notice
what has happened and nearly drop their trays of food
on me.
Gobble,
gobble. Is this the sound that turkeys make or of
us eating?
A
glance around the table from left to right: Yeonju,
Eun, Ed, Derrick, Elmer, Dave.
