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.

A Goldeneye working along a rapidly shrinking open patch of the Nith as the cold weather freezes up everything except a few fast moving areas.

I've found a few of these in our ice cube trays lately. Ice spikes are a known phenomenon, and now that the Capilano reservoir is UV-pasteurizing our extremely soft, pure water supply instead of chlorinating it, I expect we'll see more of these.
Our home version of "Lassi". It is flavoured with sugar, papaya and orange fruit juice.
ER first pondered about this drink while surfing the net just before our Penang trip. Surprisingly, we did not savour this drink on both trips there, instead, ER tried it out @ Gayatri restuarant in Little India, Serangoon, Singapore.
Holy crap! Let me tell ya... Satureday, we had all day drizzeling rain and cold (15 degrees) weather...
Today however... clear blue skies and 30+ degrees =D How cool (or hot) is that?! man, I like these sort of temperatures once in a wile!!
spend as much time possible outside in the sun and drinking loads of water, with icecubes in it! Hurray for summer and warm days!
btw, here in the Netherlands we need to treasure these sorta days, because tomorrow you might guess, It is going to rain again... oh well... days like these make the rain accaptable =)
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.
