First Steps in Antarctica

So I know I've been promising to add a video, so here it finally is! This is the movie I shot with my new camera as I stepped off the C-17 and onto the McMurdo Ice Shelf for the first time.

It's not the greatest footage, and I don't have a video editor so you'll have to look sideways, but at least you all get to see what I saw just the way I saw it, and for the first time!!! It's kinda like baby's first steps! Only a lot colder! ha ha ha. So enjoy! More to come....

Very cool. Reminds me of going offshore on the platforms and walking off the helipad. Only colder of course :)

Dear Billy,

Your Blog is really helping us to see and feel something about what you are experiencing. Thanks for describing the dinner with the Foreign Minister. That was terrific!

Thanks also for posting your arrival as you were leaving the plane. What a wonder it is to be able to do this. We feel very excited for both you and us!

Love,
Dad
