We have been busy packing up all of our samples. They require all of our cargo the day before our flight back to Chile is scheduled. That’s been tricky because we were still processing the last of our samples! But, we have a managed to get it all done. Now, the only thing left to do is all of the paperwork for the shipments!
Most of our time at Escudero is spent in this main building where the labs, dining area, and meeting rooms are. It is painted to celebrate many of the themes of Antarctic research conducted here. (But, it does not feature any soil organisms! What an oversight) The flag mast in front of the building always flies the Chilean flag at the top, and then flags from all other countries who are represented here. You can see the American flag on the left in honor of Hannah and me. We also have a Brazilian, an Ecuadorian, and Colombians here. It is an international group!
Now, we can relax a bit while we wait for our fight tomorrow… fingers crossed the weather cooperates!
