This week, As our SAR team was out conducting a search in condition one weather at night time, the terrain became very unpredictable and varied. As one of the drivers was driving on a snow bank it gave way and collapse under the passenger side causing the Hagglund to fall over on it's side. The driver and the passengers inside the vehicle excaped without injuries or bruises. They then had to set up camp and wait until the next afternoon when the weather cleared for someone to go back out and get them.

Two things...one, I'm now cold. Two, I'm just as paranoid to drive in the snow as any other time!
Great photos nonetheless.

Great blog and very interesting. I just read all of it.
I was always curious how it is to be in Antarctica.
Well done and keep it up :)
Wow! What an environment you're in dude. Looks like an incredulous adventure/experience. I'm a high school world geography teacher and I'll share this tale with my students (until I retire at the end of May). Hey! I applaud you for your new found musical interest in learning the bass--think you'll have a blast. Check out some blues bottom end to hang on to-I'm blogging a bit about my musical journey.Hang ten, or no, you just better hang on in that landscape.

My first response: Good heavens! I live in New Delhi and in the mild winters here, I feel like curling up and dying. I dont want to imagine what its like there.
Secondly. am studying geography, and had come across the phenomenon of aureala bourolis (i know I ve spelt it wrong)....it was reassuring to know that it occurs alright. I was unprepared for its beauty though....

Good to hear no one was hurt, I bet that was one COLD night waiting for the rescue team!
Good thing you were all padded up for the cold. THe insulation probably saved a few bumps and bruises.
I was there for 5 months 20 years ago. what a great (if not wild) time!! Who handles the civilian contract for sending folks down there now? Let me know! Scott@libertyoptics.com
