So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Here is the basic lay of the land: We will be deploying out of McMurdo, where there are penguins: and we will be camping in tents in the North and South forks of upper Wright Valley. (For us there won't be any snow) On the right side of the map you can see the great Mount Erebus, an active volcano with an active lava lake, one of only three active lava lakes in the world! Mount Erebus is completely covered in snow, so there is always the danger that a huge eruption could send giant mudslides and torrents of water down the sides of the mountain. This is called a "lahar". Another worry is the chance of pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are incandescent clouds of ash and rock fragments that rush down the sides of volcanoes at more than 300 mph. They were responsible for killing most of the people who were killed at Pompeii, and more recently, a pyroclastic flow completely wiped out a town in Columbia, killing more than 40,000 people in the matter of seconds. Luckily, Erebus hasn't shown any signs of having an explosive eruption, and we are going to be too far away to be in danger. The Antarctic Dry Valleys are pretty much the coldest and driest places on the Earth. In this way, they are a very good analog for the planet Mars, which is also extremely cold and dry. The temperatures of the Dry Valleys will likely be between -35 C and -3 C while we are there (they drop to low as -60 C in the wintertime), and the temperatures on Mars can be anywhere from -143 C at the poles to +5 C in Gusev Crater. We'll be attempting to study how water (what little there is) moves through the always-nearly-frozen landscape of the Dry Valleys from the great ice sheet that surrounds the valleys to its final resting place in little saline ponds or cracked permafrost ground. We are also studying how the rocks in the Dry Valleys are chemically weathered. We have some evidence to suggest that the way that rocks weather in the Dry Valleys is very similar to how they weather on Mars. Thus we can get a little taste of ground truthing without making the epic journey to the surface of the Red Planet. This will likely involve a lot of flying about in helicopters: Chillin' out in small yellow tents: And generally checkin' out the sweet glaciers: 4 Comments. AWESOME!!! I can't believe that you get to go to Antarctica! What a blast. :-D Send me a postcard. ;-) Har har... » Rachel (98.245.155.196) on 2009-06-24 10:49:28 The lame thing is... I saw the topo-map and got waaay too excited to look at the other pictures properly. Have fun!!! » Someones_Muse on 2009-06-24 10:42:56 They added another section for 800 points, so the total is 2400 now. Most people ignore the writing section, which stinks because I went over 700 on it. :DDD » middaymoon on 2009-06-25 10:05:16 You're doing Geology right? It sounds like an extremely interesting subject to study right now. Re: Your first answer is correcT!! He conveniently, I literally mean that, unplugged my laptop. I couldn't beat the information out of him because he will hit me back and he don't know anything about generating information from statistical data nor how to interpret them. » Nuttz on 2009-06-28 11:24:24
