It is now time to leave Palmer Station for the second time and this time, for real. My experience here has been overwhelmingly positive despite the drawbacks of living in a commune-like environment, the dark winter and working 54 hours a week. I've learned a myriad of things that have nothing to do with computers, seen beautiful vistas and cool wildlife, had some great times with new friends and experienced new sights and sounds on a regular basis.
My last night on station was a good one, with a surprisingly appropriate costume party.
Now, it's time to board the ship, sail to Punta Arenas, and then hop around South America.
Hello Carla,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jack, and I Wintered Over at "Old" Palmer in 1965. I am trying to contact someone who will be at "New" Palmer in February of 2009, as my wife and I are booked on the ms Prinsendam and we will "hopefully" be in the vicinity of the station. Any Help here?
