A friend of mine is in Antarctica building a new runway

[Donna]

I'm so excited....been waiting for them and they arrived yesterday. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more pics.

Where did they arrive from?  I know they weren't in Miami Beach,  so do they migrate from different parts of Antartica?

Migration and Vagrancy:
Little is known about post-breeding dispersal or migration. Adults stay close to the permanent ice for most of their lives. Juveniles equipped with satellite transmitters, however, migrated as far north as the polar front. Vagrants have turned up on the South Shetland Islands, Tierra del Fuego, the Falklands, South Sandwich Islands, Kerguelen Island, Heard Island, and New Zealand.

Now the party is complete!  I love the looks of these guys!

2 more penguin pics and those 2 copters were just taken off the back of the C-17. WOW!!

Ok, add one of the Penguins to my "I want one"  list!     It's the feet!    We need a foot smiley, too!

These pics are as follows:

The first pic is McMurdo Station where he is working. LOL

The 2nd pic is the Ice Runway.

Jeff has quite the sense of humor. 

He actually sent 4 pics but even though they were 4 different shots, they all looked the same to me, so I only posted the 2.

I think these were the best pics he's sent so far, Donna!

One time when I was snowed in with a two-year-old in NH, I sent my Mom a post card with a similar view.  I divided the lined side of a plain white recipe card like a post card, with her address on the right side, and the message "opposite, scenic view of Wolfeboro, NH", on the left, a    pretty good rendition of what I was seeing from the windows.

Jeff needs Glasses!

So you never know what you'll find after drilling a hole in the Ice. This guy pops up.

He's a cutie!  Did he stick around or swim away?

These caves are pretty cool...especially the one with the Ice crystals. During the Whiteout last week, Jeff said they had 5 feet of snow and the drifts were outrageous. I so wish I were there.
