Dr. DuVernois Blog

For a while this will be focused on my trips to the South Pole to work on ARA and IceCube experiments as a physicist and instrumentation scientist from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin. Here Dr. DuVernois will ponder the world, the web, and all things in the middle. If that isn't a noble enough project, I'll also post interesting links. This web journal is held in lieu of a writing journal and continues my UMN, MySpace, and Facebook blogs.

My berth in the South Pole Station

That's my desk, laptop, books, South Pole VHF radio, my radio scanner, and cameras. There's a bunk right behind me, and a pair of small dressers under the bunk. That's it. About a six foot wide room by about eight foot long. Cramped, but comfortable enough. Got to be quiet though as there are night shift folks nearby.
