Hi All,
As I was packing and about step to out the door for deployment, I was thinking of all those little ironic things you find on the Ice. For instance…
* The favorite dessert is ice cream.
* The snow is often too cold for good skiing.
* A common complaint is that the rooms are too hot.
* Antarctica has the lowest population density of any continent, but stations are often so cramped that it’s hard to get away from people.
* McMurdo has only one small store and three bars. It now also has two ATMs, and the first one dispensed over $60,000 in one day in 2001.
I’m sure there’s many others… I’ll post more as I see them.

I was there before ATM’s. Could have used one a couple of times at the ships store and at the Scott Base store.

They take credit cards now too.
Oh, here’s another irony I had to deal with today… McMurdo has a parking problem. There’s no place to park!
