Hello All. Thought I would share a few photos of my time in Antarctica. I was in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica in October, November, & December of 2002. I was there for my Master's research. I was using radar satellites to track melting ice. The melting ice provided the water needed for life in this very desolate desert. LTER stands for Long Term Ecological Research site. LTER sites are scattered throughout the US but also include two sites in Antarctica and one near Tahiti. The McMurdo LTER has applications to life on other planets and contains some amazing adaptions of organisms to thrive in such a hostile environment. Anyways here are just a few photos from my time down there.
