The inevitabilities of life and winter in Antarctica

In life, there are certain inevitabilities - birth, death, and taxes etc.

When one winters in Antarctica, certain other inevitabilities become apparent: snow blizz (and blizz-related clean-up), emergency response training, and pumping water. In this week's station update, our pictures tell a thousand words of the inevitabilities of winter in Antarctica.

In terms of the 2021 Casey winter team - we all remain healthy, well, and busy as ever, as time continues to march steadily onwards to our 10th month down south, and the pending end of winter.
