It's meant to snow tomorrow! yeah that's what im talking about. Apparently a big storm is heading our way. I haven't seen it snow here yet so i'm pretty excited. So all you southerly facing Wellington folk - carry a woolly hat with you over the next couple of days.
Work was a blast today, speaking of blasts.... they had one here today. They placed explosives all around one of the fuel tanks covered in snow to clear it. Sounded pretty intelligent to me.
But all was "sweet as". I'm teaching my american buddies to talk kiwi.
We did a lot of training today and i got to learn the ropes of dispatch. I even answered an incoming off continent phone call to which the caller sounded extremely confused... "now did i just call mcmurdo or scott base"
Vanessa (my ambo sister) you would be proud. I spiked an I.V bag today, hooked up some EKG leads to the monitor and took the blood pressure and vitals of just about all the boys at station. I even measured my own blood/oxygen level on the pulse oximeter.
Top gun was the movie of choice tonight in our down time (Goldie i did think of you).
The shots are of the hike I did yesterday. The monster mountain is Erebus. It's the mother of mcmurdo. She’s the southern most active volcano, and is constantly puffing. She sits a massive 3,800 metres.
A real beauty.
The frozen eyelash shot is a must down here. It's incredible how quick they can freeze up. It's a rather surreal feeling. This is keish, he works for the recreational department.
Wicked.
