Antarctica Arrival - a photo on Flickriver

Antarctica Arrival

            After a 10+ hour plane ride on that LC-130 on the right, we landed on those skis you see beneath the plane on the ice shelf. It wasn't the smoothest landing in the world. We didn't have windows by the seats (we were strapped into the walls like GIs about to parachute into France on D-Day), and the pilots later told me we landed so hard the tips of the wings almost hit the ground. Fun!

Anyway, after we got off, we boarded one of the largest land vehicles in existence. As you can see, it has the name "Ivan the Terra Bus." Thank God it had a heater in there, because it was a little colder than I expected, and I expected a lot of cold.
