Something that I didn't mention about that day at Neko Harbor was when I sat at the top of the hill we climbed, watching the penguins and the view of the mountains and the harbor and the ice, that I realized I was sad to leave- not just sad my vacation was over, but really, really deeply sad to be leaving this place. And I began to think how wonderful it would be to return, if only I could find a way to get back down there (since I certainly wasn't going to be able to take another cruise)
It was then that I kind of realized that I wasn't done with Antarctica, or more aptly, Antarctica wasn't done with me. And after almost 6 months of searching and pursuing any possible lead that would get me back on the ice......
I'm going back to Antarctica!
From August to the end of February, I will be working on McMurdo as a dining attendant. It is honestly something that has been on the forefront of my mind...something I have thought about, dreamed about, and actively pursued every day since December, so I am kind of in shock that it is actually happening. But it is!
