Settling In



Palmer around sunset becomes even more beautiful. The colors are amazing!
For my job I have to go for walks in the back yard and make sure instruments on towers are still operating normally. I also sure snow accumulation stakes every day. The building in the top left is my office/lab. It's called Terra Lab.
An ice arch!!
A pretty iceberg sitting in Arthur Harbor. 
Same ice berg.
Another ice arch!!
Last weekend (wow it's already almost been a week), I slept out at the Rec Hut with some friends.
Here is the Rec Hut, which you can reserve for a night to camp in.
It's over a hill from main station so it quiet and sitting looking out into Arthur harbor.
Out the window in the door.
Out the door!
The mountains to the South East, I can see these from my building on top of the hill.
More mountains. I love topography!!
Early morning colors on islands and icebergs in the distance.
The wind is starting to blow the sea ice out of our harbor. Very excited to get above freezing and see the seasons change.
This is my room. For now I don't have a roommate but once the next boat gets here I will.

Here is the Palmer web camera.
