Antarctica wins Silver Medal

Antarctica: Life on the Ice has won the Silver medal from the Society of American Travel Writers! This is part of their Lowell Thomas awards in journalism. Thank you writers for  making this book such a success!

I know I have been dormant here. But the return of friends to the ice will get me going. For now, my friend Holly (who I met in 2004--she was working with a science team digging for nematodes in the Dry Valleys) is down there working with helicopters. Read her blog to hear some stories of big weather and to see some great pictures.

And I'll be back soon to describe the 2008 Gunks Reunion.
