Although I didn't get to spend Christmas at the pole (I'm now at McMurdo on my way back home), I did get to have a bit of Christmas fun before leaving. There is a Christmas tree made out of broken machinery that gets put outside the station, and we had mall Santa.
Now I'm at McMurdo, and I took the time to walk down to Discovery Hut.
It was lucky, because there were lots of seals, and one lone penguin. I
ended up sitting there for the better part of an hour, watching the
penguin jump in and out of a hole in the ice, while a seal just yawned.
