Well the day is finally here. The Winter 2009 crew of Palmer Station departs North at 4PM today. It's been a busy week. We transferred 57,000 gallons of fuel to station. We unloaded crate after crate of frozen foods (180 lbs of bacon!). We did our best to pass on the torch to our Summer time successors. Hopefully we did well.
It will be a sad day. Time to say goodbye to some new friends and some old friends. Time to say goodbye to our home for the last six months.
At popular demand, I give you a Tour of Palmer Station

oops I wrote a comment but it's roaming around in cyber space. My first visit to Palmer was on the NGeo Endeavour in 2006; I have made friends there and am once again returning on the NGeo Explorer, sailing the first week of November this year. I thoroughly enjoyed your tour of Palmer and am anxious to get back again. Thank you so much for posting your blogs and photos. I have your site bookmarked and return to it frequently.
