Antarctic Trip Nov 29 - Dec 3 2010.
From U.S. Ambassador Huebner's Blog:
At the South Pole.
It just keeps getting better down here. Early this morning we suited up in our extreme-cold survival gear, followed our friend Dr. Lisa Clough of the National Science Foundation down to the ice airstrip, boarded an LC-130 Hercules, and flew 3 hours inland to the South Pole. For decades the Hercules fleet has been the dependable backbone of the U.S. Antarctic Program, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the flight deck of the old workhorse with the pilot and co-pilot as we soared into the Antarctic interior.

I stepped onto the front garden from the driveway and banged my head on the flagpole support … ouch !
I put an ice cube in a plastic bag and held it on my head; then I put my sun hat on to hold it in place.

You cover news, you take people's pictures, they're gonna ask, "hey, can I get a copy of that?"
Newspapers have different funny rules, the main one being, "do what you need to do and say what you need to say--just get the picture!!" (although they don't phrase it that way). As a photo subject, your chances of getting a free photo are pretty good if you negotiate the deal before the shutter clicks; after publication, you're lucky if they'll even sell you a copy.
But I always felt a bond with whoever was my photo subject--we were doing this together, after all--and I'd promise to hand off a copy, with the best of intentions, (but with a fairly poor record for follow through, I'm afraid.)
So it was with the Ice Cube, and his "gangsta rap" show, "Straight Outa Compton". After the show, I met him...aka, O'Shee Johnson, and he asked for a copy of the photo, and I agreed.
"See that you do," he smiled, "you don't want me to have to come after it."
I try to follow through, but gosh, 'Ice"....er, "Mr. Cube"?--I musta lost your address. But now, in the digital age, it's easier to follow through on sharing images. "Friend" me here on flickr, and I'll download you a copy of this shot--my pleasure. By the way, I thought you were great in "Three Kings", but that big snake in "Anaconda" freaked me out. Give me best to Dr. Dre, too.

IceCube’s mission is to demonstrate the technology of a submillimeter-wave radiometer for future cloud ice sensing. This technology will enable cloud ice measurements to be taken in the intermediate altitudes (5km – 15km), where no measurements currently exist. It will perform first-of-a-kind measurements of ice particles embedded within clouds. These measurements will not only advance atmospheric monitoring technology, they will also fill in critical gaps in understanding of how cloud ice affects the weather and how cloud formations process atmospheric radiation. IceCube, the first small satellite project managed by Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility, is a 3U CubeSat weighing 10 pounds and about the size of a loaf of bread, complete with three-axis attitude control, deployable solar areas and a deployable UHF communications antenna. Launched by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative on the May 24, 2017 ELaNa XVII mission on the seventh Orbital-ATK Cygnus Commercial Resupply Services (OA-7) to the International Space Station and deployed on TBD.

Dry Red Wine with orangead (i.e. Fanta, 7up etc.) and ice cubes - delicious!
Update: Well, obviously someone beat me to it - as Karin lets us all know in her comment this drink is called Tinto de verano...

Ich glaube, ich habe einen neuen Sommerdrink erfunden
Trockener Rotwein mit Orangenlimonade (z.B. Fanta, 7up etc.) und Eiswürfel - köstlich!
Update: Sieht so aus, als sei mir jemand zuvor gekommen - wie Karin uns in ihrem Kommentar wissen läßt, heißt diese Getränk Tinto de verano...
