Weather on my first day at the Pole.

 

Summer carpenter Jeff Ames did some paragliding.  It didn't go over too well with administration though.

 

Egg Head - Mark, summer cook

 

This is a bicycle that was designed especially for the snow.  Although many people gave it a try during the summer, it was agreed that it needed to go back to the drawing board.

 

Here are Sonja, Holly, Patrick, and Travis representing the GA's who signed up to make pizza one night.

 

Is this the South Pole or Easter Island?
Oh wait, maybe that's Gumby!

 

Here is JP getting water for Summer Camp.

 

What other job could this guy get with hands like that, I ask you.

I LOVE this picture of some fruit that got scattered by the runway during the air-drop of 1999.  Contrary to the publicity at that time, airdrops used to be something that took place every winter here.

 

Summer kitchen staff got together for a group shot, but Sally was in MacTown.

 

The above shot was when I lost the paddle of the mixer outside.  After a horrible night of looking and worrying, I finally put up a sign.  It seems that Robert had picked it up while on a snow machine, thinking that someone was trying to use a very strange antenna.

 

Summer Camp Lounge.
Only for the people with a strong constitution, like all of Pole actually.

 

A group from an Argentinean Base on the coast came all the way to the Pole on snowmachines.  I had a great time speaking Spanish with them that week.

 

While they were digging the whole for the New Power Plant you can see some piece of wood drifted under the snow years ago.

 

Halo - yes, angelic - no.

 

Look Mom!  I kept the snow off the arch all summer long!
