At the South Pole, Sunday evenings mean science lectures (not football!)

So, at the Pole I am surrounded by scientists!  Every Sunday night, someone will give a presentation about their project.  Last night we heard all about the mountain range and lakes burried a mile and a half below the ice sheet of Antarctica!!  I was amazed. 

I found a quick article about the topic, but you might have to google for more information!  Really fascinating!!

  1. Wow! How interesting. For some reason I picture you as Penny surrounded by the nerdy scientists like on the Big Bang Theory. Are there any Sheldons?
