SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA: We're not far from the station, but the top of the hour has come around and Kris calls in on the satellite phone to check that the phone works and to check in with the station. Randi kicks it back on her sled...watch out for the kill switch!
SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA: The "snow stakes" are just PVC pipe that was planted vertically when the project started in 1990. Since then, the drifting snow has pushed the stake over somewhat while burying it in the drift snow. A red and green flagged bamboo helps us find a white stake in a white landscape.
