To My Bestie We've Been Freinds For So Long I Can't Remember Tee Shirts White
There are about 45 more stations manned year round on the continent but they’re all small From a few people to one or two dozen, McMurdo is Antarctic Gotham. People actually get R&R (rest and recuperation) in McMurdo from their own small stations. People who reach Palmer arrive via Punta Arenas, Chile. Pole, and many of the smaller stations, including many from nations other than the U.S. arrive via McMurdo. You get to McMurdo by air from the beautiful (but recently a bit shaken) Christchurch, New Zealand. In the summer an icebreaker clears a channel for a cargo vessel to provision the station. For many years this has been the fine ship, the Military Sealift Commands, MV Green Wave. Otherwise, all traffic is by air. In August, perhaps the coldest month of the year, many of the stations inhabitants go out on the ice shelf and use heavy equipment to carve an airstrip into the ice. The aircraft are mostly C-130’s and C-141’s. Sometimes a C-5. They belong to the 109th Airlift Wing, New York ANG. The flyers; pilots, chiefs, and crew are skilled and brave. Sometimes, in the warmest summers, the ice clears up enough to allow a tourist cruise ship nearby, and they may even send out launches with a few tourists. Rich white people. They have orange parkas made to look like ours. They stroll around town, take photos of us, and get fed in our galley. The Antarctic Program used to be a navy project, so we still have some nautical slang. Now it’s under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. They also used to fly tourists down and back in big passenger jets till one slammed into the volcano. The most dangerous air and the most dangerous waters surround the most dangerous place in the world. Travel there is not to be taken lightly, remaining, less so.

We even take a Meyers-Briggs type, an MMPI II, and talk to a shrink. A lot of us study up for this. We leave our homes and make our way to Christchurch. Some, the people going back to the Ice are coming to Christchurch from far flung places all over the world. The people who do it more than once tend do be more global citizens than Americans, whether they’ll admit to it or not. These many who do it more than once, sometimes as an entire career, are a well traveled bunch, all with the soul of an explorer, and a frontiersperson. These people form a family like core through which the lore, traditions and culture of the Antarctic Explorer is maintained and passed on to all who come. I’m gettin’ there…All right, you get your 100lbs./45kg, usually in your two orange bags, if you’re a FNG(fucking new guy/gal) you better have your ECW (extreme cold weather gear). You pray for the bad weather to keep up so you’ll get a few extra days in Christchurch and when the weather clears, you fly. You have to wear your parka and your bunny boots, and you’re crammed side to side, knee to knee, barely able to wriggle, and strapped into aluminum framed loose woven 2inch flat nylon webbing bench seats in a plane loaded to the max. It’s so loud that you have to wear earplugs, and it’s about a five hour flight. Depends on the Plane. The pilot announces that we’ve passed the PSR. The Point of Safe Return. Now the plane doesn’t have enough gas to get back. Whatever the weather does, we’re goin’ in. The worst-best flight of your life is over. When the crew chiefs finally open the hatches, white light flashes in as bright as from an arc welder. You step out and are struck by completely novel sensory data and an introduction to a new sense of scale. For instance, hearing: Out on the ice it’s quiet. Super quiet. There’s nothing for sound to reflect off of, so it falls into eternity, miles of nothing but flat. There’s no smell. Only the people and the stuff people bring along. Well, that’s not entirely true… there’s penguin shit. Even the cold is different. Not just deeper, but desiccating… mummifying. Like you’re in a freeze dryer. If you don’t protect your eyes from the brightness you’ll go blind.

They also used to fly tourists down and back in big passenger jets till one slammed into the volcano. The most dangerous air and the most dangerous waters surround the most dangerous place in the world. Travel there is not to be taken lightly, remaining, less so.

We even take a Meyers-Briggs type, an MMPI II, and talk to a shrink. A lot of us study up for this. We leave our homes and make our way to Christchurch. Some, the people going back to the Ice are coming to Christchurch from far flung places all over the world. The people who do it more than once tend do be more global citizens than Americans, whether they’ll admit to it or not. These many who do it more than once, sometimes as an entire career, are a well traveled bunch, all with the soul of an explorer, and a frontiersperson. These people form a family like core through which the lore, traditions and culture of the Antarctic Explorer is maintained and passed on to all who come. I’m gettin’ there…All right, you get your 100lbs./45kg, usually in your two orange bags, if you’re a FNG(fucking new guy/gal) you better have your ECW (extreme cold weather gear). You pray for the bad weather to keep up so you’ll get a few extra days in Christchurch and when the weather clears, you fly. You have to wear your parka and your bunny boots, and you’re crammed side to side, knee to knee, barely able to wriggle, and strapped into aluminum framed loose woven 2inch flat nylon webbing bench seats in a plane loaded to the max. It’s so loud that you have to wear earplugs, and it’s about a five hour flight. Depends on the Plane. The pilot announces that we’ve passed the PSR. The Point of Safe Return. Now the plane doesn’t have enough gas to get back. Whatever the weather does, we’re goin’ in. The worst-best flight of your life is over. When the crew chiefs finally open the hatches, white light flashes in as bright as from an arc welder. You step out and are struck by completely novel sensory data and an introduction to a new sense of scale. For instance, hearing: Out on the ice it’s quiet. Super quiet. There’s nothing for sound to reflect off of, so it falls into eternity, miles of nothing but flat. There’s no smell. Only the people and the stuff people bring along. Well, that’s not entirely true… there’s penguin shit. Even the cold is different. Not just deeper, but desiccating… mummifying. Like you’re in a freeze dryer. If you don’t protect your eyes from the brightness you’ll go blind. T-Shirt AT Fashion LLC – DODOL Clothing Store
