I haven't used this blog for quite a few years. I have another blog site that I have been using over the last couple of years called "Whale of a Time". This site supports my Youtube Channel "WhaleOfATime" by adding pictures, stories and information to my video content. A lot of my content features interesting things from my work in Antarctica. Visit Whale of a Time or click on the links or pictures below to visit a specific page.
