Some pictures from the beginning of the 2014-2015 field season...

Trying on the Extreme Cold Weather Gear

We fly from New Zealand to McMurdo Antarctica on a LC130 with skis!

Almost there...

Landed at Pegasus Airfield on the Ross Ice Shelf near Ross Island, Antarctica.

McMurdo Station holds an annual concert called Ice Stock to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Our team planning the field season...

I don't have pictures from field work yet... but here are some soils we collected. We're analyzing soil chemistry here, including pH and nutrient contents.

Jess is washing our glassware for more analyses.

Ashley is counting nematodes in the soil.


Ruth is measuring soil pH and electrical conductivity.
