Adelies in action

Tomorrow we are scheduled to fly out to New Zealand. Tonight we lugged our bags up the hill to the post office where we checked in and were weighed with our carry-on and wearing our full ECW gear. It was hot and sweaty work... and the event is rightfully named "the bag drag". I will live out of my carry-on for hopefully only one night this time!

I will probably get time tomorrow morning to post a blog on the last few adventures I want to share with everyone before we are shuttled out to the airfield to await the landing of the C-17. They basically just offload and load and go. No messing around. Apparently the wait can be hours out there so we have plans to play cricket on the sea ice to pass the time. How fantastic is that?

In the meantime I'll leave you with this video of the Cape Evans Adelies in full action. I can't take credit for it, and unfortunately my classmate who did take it didn't give themselves credit when they posted it to the common drive.

Enjoy! They will melt your hearts.
