Antarctica
Last week, we received a very special phonecall on our brand new landline, from Antarctica! Our good friend Dan is a geologist who spends a lot of time on that continent. See his blog to see some beautiful photos and to learn more about this remarkable place and the work Dan and his colleagues are doing. He has finished his fieldwork for this Antarctic summer and had some free minutes on his satellite phone, which he spent on congratulating us with our new phone line. It was really great to hear from him again, especially considering he was outside in the cold, on Antarctica, operating a satellite phone!
The ship that will take him and his fellow antarctic dwellers home before winter starts departed from Hobart, Australia last Friday, and will reach Antarctica in about two weeks time. Dan’s planning on coming to Welly - the place where he grew up and where his family is - in April. We can’t wait to see him again!
