Dead of night

It's 2:30am here, the middle of the night.  While McMurdo operates around the clock, LDB does not, but I am out here because ANITA is still in line of sight and I'm on night shifts.  It all leads to going a little crazy as sleep deprivation (event though I got 6 hours earlier today) kicks in.

It is quite nice to be out here all alone though, the Sun is lower in the sky and everything feels very peaceful outside of the hangar.


Other than working nights and sleeping days not much has been going on out here other than film watching.  I still haven't seen any damn penguins, the only wildlife I've observed have been skuas (like overgrown aggressive seagulls that'll happily dive-bomb people with food) and seals (dead ones or far off alive ones).  Oh, and also sea spiders in a tank, creepy!

make sure you don't accidently bring any of those spiders back in your suitcase!
