Somewhere in Antarctica, a woman in a Santa suit is blogging. Alli, aka Sandwichgirl, e-mails BoingBoing with this update on holiday preparations and the spread of Santarchy down south. And by "down south," I mean way, way, way down south. Click thumbnails for larger images.

if there is a god or santa, i must have done something to piss them off in the dish line cause santawich got no love from the health fairy. a week and a half ago, i was told i have a stomach virus. after a very humbling 4 days, a cough that bruised my ribs, a fever of 102, and a vicious lung infection kicked my ass the one week i have been looking forward to since before i came to antarctica.

i have been trapped in my little crap dorm watching no less than 15 movies, wishing, for once, i could be at work. i wanted to be making cookies. i wanted to be slacking off in the name of christmas. i wanted to be taking advantage of all our volunteers. feck. so i stayed in bed the past 4 days. hacking, breathing, sweating, crapping. did i mention the 15 movies i watched? maybe it was more.

today was the first day i emerged since saturday night. i asked medical if icould borrow a wheelchair to make a grand appearance into the galley but they said they needed it for 'real emergencies'. then i asked the firefighters if they could carry me in, but most the firefighters i know were off base on some call. so, i trudged in on my own, clad in santa. it was hilarious, watching santas collect their food from the hot lines, then along table full of santas, eating together in peace and harmony.

after i watched everyone eat (i still have zero appetite), i hung around to watch the community file in and react. it was amusing, but i had to do something less stimulating or perhaps i would die. there were lots of people taking pictures and video. i promise i will report within the next few days. here's a few things. i'm going back to the galley now to see how things are progressing. tonight i want to go out for a little while to get some shots around town. thank you for everything. the galley staff thanks you! -- santawich

(Thanks, David)

NASA Tumbleweed Rolls Across Antarctica

NASA Tumbleweed Rolls Across Antarctica 03/06/2004 02:03 AM
The NSF issued a press release yesterday announcing that the NASA Tumbleweed, a two-meter beachball-shaped robot, had completed a 70 km roll across Antarctica's polar plateau. The robot left the NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on Jan. 24 and made the journey in 8 days propelled by wind at up to 30 kph (average speed was 1.3 kph). The Tumbleweed is a mini test version of an eventual 6 meter robot designed to roll across Mars at 25 kph, bouncing over rocks as large as 1 meter. The robot can with withstand impacts of up to 30 m/sec so no parachute is needed for landing.
