In this #GeoLog, Julia Martin takes us on a trip to #McMurdo Sound - a dream that became a reality as she reports!
Julia and her team spent four weeks camping on the sea ice to investigate the physical properties of the #snow❄️and to understand the role that snow plays in the sea ice energy balance!

Was wearing this today and remembered I hadn’t posted it on Mastodon since leaving bsky. It’s a t-shirt I designed for the retail store at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, when I was stationed there.

Cutbacks to #US #Antarctic #Science Risk Geopolitical Shifts at the #SouthPole
Reductions to #American research at the South Pole could affect the politics of the southernmost continent
#McMurdo—normally a humming hub of research—has gotten quieter. Amid budget concerns and delayed upgrades to the station’s aging infrastructure, the #NSF has pulled back on the number of scientific projects and associated people it sends to the globe’s deepest south.

The U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker USCGC #PolarStar and its crew left #McMurdo Station, #Antarctica on February 12, after 51 days operating below the Antarctic Circle as part of Operation Deep Freeze 2024.

As I mentioned, the #BIG60 #balloon launched yesterday from #McMurdo with AESOP-Lite onboard as the closing flight of the #NASA launch campaign in #Antarctica continues to lose altitude steadily.
Since it reached a float altitude of 156.000 ft the 60 million cubic feet balloon is now flying at 126.000 ft. This is a clear indication of a possible leak and is a situation well beyond any probable recovery, even dumping all ballast available.
At this peace of descent, the flight will end soon.

The show is over. Onboard cameras have been turned off.
The last image I captured of the BIG60 balloon of mission 735NT can be seen below when the balloon was at 144.000 ft at about 18:57 utc.
Real-time tracking of the balloon is available here: https://www.csbf.nasa.gov/map/balloon4/Google737NT.htm

Now, operations are underway at #McMurdo station in #Antarctica for the launch of #AESOP-Lite the 3rd. and final mission of the #NASA balloon campaign.
The instrument is a magnet spectrometer devoted to the study of cosmic ray electrons. It was developed by a collaboration between the Universities of Delaware & California, Santa Cruz.
It will be launched under a 60 million cubic feet balloon, the largest on NASA's inventory and the biggest ever launched in Antarctica.

Now, operations are underway at #McMurdo station in #Antarctica for the launch of #GUSTO the 2nd. mission of the #NASA balloon campaign.
GUSTO stands for Galactic / Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (ULDB for Ultralong-Duration Balloon) is a balloon-borne 0.9-meter far infrared reflector #telescope with a cryogenically-cooled camera, to map oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon lines in the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Now, operations are underway at the Long Duration Balloon Facility of #McMurdo station in #Antarctica for the launch of the second #balloon of the #NASA campaign.
Payload onboard will be the cosmic ray detector AESOP-LITE and a Swedish Infrasound Experiment called #ANIHALA
Both payloads will be hoisted under a 60 million cubic feet balloon the largest ever launched in Antarctica.

GUSTO telescope finally is up! in one of the buildings at the Long Duration Balloon camp near Williams Field, Antarctica.
Here is a time-lapse video of the maneuver to stand up the delicate instrument.

After arriving safely in Antarctica from Texas in an epic multi-path flight onboard a NASA C-130 plane the GUSTO telescope has been extracted from its container. It will regain shape in the upcoming days before the planned launch date in early December.
The telescope will circle Antarctica for three months aboard a NASA Super-Pressure balloon to study the interstellar medium (the matter between the stars) using far-infrared detectors.

Sir David #Attenborough, who inspired so many kids to study Earth sciences, has turned 97 today!
I flew on the same aircraft (Hercules) with him to #McMurdo station in Jan 2010 where they filmed Frozen Planet and I tried to figure out how to do field work in marine biology.
His visit to the station was the talk of the continent! He gave a brilliant lecture. But the funniest memory was that the BBC team asked us to remove warning signs around our ice holes to get a pristine view of Antarctica.

Under Antarctic Ice
This 15 min amazing video with sound shows underwater imagery from #McMurdo Sound, #Antarctica:
https://vimeo.com/778342569/f1834fe8fc
It was created by Henry Kaiser
https://panm360.com/en/interviews-panm360/a-love-supreme-electric-henry-kaiser-et-ses-electrisants-collegues/
when he joined our NSF-funded Weddell Seal research project as outreach cinematographer. He did the diving, took and edited the video, and created the soundtrack - that is him playing the guitar, and he also used recorded #Weddell seal vocalizations.
This is an amazingly beautiful video to sit and enjoy during the holidays.
Happy Antarctic Holidays! -

It is currently warmer in #McMurdo Station, #Antarctica than it is in #Colorado Springs by 20°. #cowx
To be fair - summer just started there. 🤣

Made it to McMurdo on Monday. We have to isolate here for 5 days before we can continue to Pole, but we're allowed to enjoy the many great hikes around McMurdo while we're in isolation. Here's a few of us Pole-bound folks on the Cape Armitage loop hike, one I've never done before. Mt Erebus on the left. #antarctica #science #hiking #McMurdo #southPole #astrodon

Valentin, un ami à moi va passer les treize prochains mois à la base Dumont D'Urville. C'est un hivernant qui aura pour mission de piloter un #lidar. Il a créé un site pour nous raconter son quotidien. Un nouvel épisode aujourd'hui, en route pour la base ! (Y a pas de liaison directe easy jet...)
Je prendrai un peu de temps plus tard pour faire une meilleure présentation, mais allez déjà le lire !

It seems that there would already be less ice in the area in October 2022 than last summer in December 2021.
But the scientists at #McMurdo Station certainly know better.📸🛰Sentinel-2
