In December I was given the enjoyable and lovely task of flying back to Lake Vida to take down the camp we put up in November! It was another helocopter ride through the dry valley's and a nights stay in a polar haven with a few great folks. We took the camp down to the bare bones and hooked up loads to hovering helocopters to wisk away back to McMurdo, leaving Lake Vida in it's pristine condition, for another 5 years.
The following photos encompass some outdoor trips, work and play from the season... I have gotten out into the field on some incredible helicopter flights, had some great hikes around McMurdo, enjoyedlocal skate skiing trips out on the sea ice and had the pleasure of being involved in McMurdo's up and coming music scene! The beauty of this place never fails to humble me and every time I look out across the sea to the Royal Society range I am reminded of what an awe inspiring land this is and how lucky I am to take it all in.
MAAG!

ICESTOCK 2011!!!
This year I had the pleasure of playing elevtric guitar for ANNIE AND HER GUNS, my friend Annie's band! It was really really cold outside and our fingers froze but it was so much fun to play for a bunch of happy people!!! There were tons of bands and we all danced our way into the new year!
The Women's Soiree
Annie and I played a few songs at the Women's Soiree, an annual event put on by the women of McMurdo to benefit a cause for women and children in New Zealand. We played for a big crowd, and a DVD of the performance is available for 10$!
