     FEATURED NEWS 

    GGE Geomorphology Expedition Phones Home From Antarctica - Ph.D. student Ted Bibby writes from McMurdo Base:
    Our geomorphology field team has returned to McMurdo Station, Antarctica for our second year of field work and research. Our team left Grand Forks North Dakota on Nov. 26, 2011 and have literally been traveling for 4 days up until our arrival at McMurdo Station. The team is well and healthy. Jaakko and Collin are back to their old ways, eating as much as possible from the all you can eat buffet on station while Erin (our new team member) is learning the ropes along with trying to memorize the multitudes of code words and phrases used on station. Our flight left Christchurch around 8am with good weather, and 5 hrs. later delivered us to calm wind, clear skies and generally warm temperatures (somewhere around freezing). According to the pilot of the C-17, the ice runway is only about 6-7ft. thick this time of year and yet it can support the C-17 as well as a number of smaller aircraft. This Friday the ice-runway will be moved to another location with thicker and more permanent ice and soon McMurdo will have a clear view of the ocean, with seals and penguins swimming around.
