Originally the diary of 4 months spent in Antarctica working as a documentary film sound recordist, this blog has evolved into an online repository for the thoughts, travels and trivia of the writer Richard Fleming. For McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and polar exploration, see August through December of '06. Currently you are likely to find in these pages chronicles of my actual and literary meanderings, as well as notes on my many other passions. Also, did I mention I wrote a book?

Transmission interrupted...
I just got word that we will leave at dawn tomorrow morning with a seven man work crew, travelling by Pisten Bully convoy across McMurdo sound to open the facility at Black Island and do begining of season maintainance there. This requires seven kidney crunching hours of travel across the sea ice followed by a couple of days of filming in one hundred knot winds followed by seven more kidney crunching hours of return voyage, weather permitting. So don't expect to read anything new until at least Thursday, and if I don't make it back, give my record collection back to Andrian.
