Today, we begin our trip down to Antarctica for our next field season! We will continue our work on glacial succession sites, to better understand what happens after glaciers recede in Antarctica.
This year, we will be a team of three. I'm traveling down with Hannah, who is also from Arizona State University. In Chile, we will meet up with Angelica, who will complete the team.
We are in the airport heading down to Punta Arenas, Chile. It is a long journey! We will arrive there tomorrow morning. We will meet up with Angelica, our favorite Chilean Antarctic researcher! We will be in Punta Arenas for a few days to gather gear, receive our safety trainings, and get organized for our field work. Then, later in the week, we will take off for Antarctica!
