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.

South Pole food
The South Pole runs on its collective stomach it seems. Our head chef James Brown (no relation, I think) runs a nice operation preparing four meals per day (midnight rations "Mid-Rats" as well as the normal three, there are night and swing shifts in some departments). I have great respect for the folks who come down to the South Pole to wash dishes ten hours per day...
There's the dining staff doing their hero picture at the ceremonial South Pole.
