I was looking through a website: Astronomy pictures- and found one of the lunar eclipse you did. I will be a first timer at McMurdo in a few days. Due to arrive on the ice Oct 11. May I use some of your photos in my blog (with credit - of course) I'll be a shuttle driver. Maybe I can drive you to the plane when you redeploy? (sorry your parents messed up the spelling of your last name!) KIDDING....Thanks for sharing your photos - they are breathtaking. ...Jo (from Kansas)

Caught your picture sequence of the eclipse on APOD, followed it to your website. Can't imagine the remoteness, nor the cold. Reckon its a relative thing, but 90 below is 90 below, which is too fricken cold for anyone or anything, must be just this side of liquid nitrogen. Curious what it is that keeps you occupied for the duration, and what and how & where you reaclimate to "normal" temps. Best of luck in the coming thaw. In the mean time, good luck.

Hi Bob

Thank you for the wonderful photographic work under extreme circumstances. I'm sure the community will give their collective nod of approval to your effort.

I send the APOD to my 11 grand kids in the hope that some might develop an interest in your work.

I have a question, Why do the images of the moon first go to a full eclipse and then reflect an orange glow for several segments and then return to the eclipse?

Thanks for the photo and if you find time to reply thanks again

Hi:

I'm from Westport,MA where we enjoyed half of the lunar eclipse before the moon set. I loved you sequence of photos on APOD, but I have a question: Why is the moon red at total eclipse, but the part that is in shadow while leading up to totality shows no olor? Is this an artifact of the camera (you need to expose for the lit half so not gathering much light from the shadow?), or is this the way it appears to the eye? (I should be able to answer that from my own experience, but I can't ;-)

Nice work with the wide angle lens. You guys must be pretty keen on seeing the first light, as well the rapid approach of your redeployment. Good luck, and perhaps I'll see you in Mactown... who knows... my job prospects are keeping me on the cusp of a real cliff hanger for a year.

I expect it is one of those places where extremes sharpen the experience of life - to really know and experience the light, you must know and experience the dark, to know warmth, know the cold. Something like that. I watched your time lapse movie of Antarctica and the Auroras - how do i download it, pay you for the privilege. I'd love to use it to introduce my workshops to inspire teams to great things. I think I have corresponded before, but then I expect you get thousands of visitors.

Lived at the "old" IGY station for the summer and then transferred to the new station for the winter. Also summered at McM in 1970-1971. Have since been in touch with Bill Spindler, including sending him images of the old days at McM and Pole. Now living in Las Vegas, NV, working for a subcontractor to the Department of Energy.

You have a great site, I'm awestruck by the photos. I see the new station is almost done. Sad to think that my carpentery work (33yr. ago) is finally comming down. I know some of the guys that worked on the first station (50's) and they said the same thing about their work. I hope we can get up enough money to bring part of the dome back and maybe some of little red huts. It was funny to see crews smashing the things apart with hammers when all we did was stand the walls and bolt them together in full pannels, don't see how breaking them up is going to save space, or do they have a compactor to crush the junk?
Any way GREAT SITE have fun and work safe. Thanks for the tape.

Hi, iceman! My name is Maryanne Leonard, and I am living in entirely too warm Westlake Village, California. Your site caught my eye because my husband, Don, was planning to go spend a year down at the South Pole when he was working for the Bureau of Standards (old name) in Boulder after he graduated from the University of Colorado, way back in the 1960's. Luckily he didn't go because he got a job with Lockheed in Atlanta and transferred to California, which led to our meeting, and we've been married 35 years now! (Luck, pluck and virtue were at work to achieve this goal!) But we've kept an eye on the South Pole more than most folks. I wonder if he'd been able to take the isolation in those days as a bachelor, with only an elderly widowed mother as his continuing contact in the USA. Does the internet keep you from losing your mind, or do you abandon all efforts to appear not to have done so? All the guys who came back from there seem to have paid quite a price back in those days. One wandered off and never was found. With TV (do you get it?), radio, books, CDs, tapes, etc., and possibly cell phone connections (do you have that by any chance?), you are probably not nearly as cut off from the world as they were. (Of course they had books, but not much else!) We saw a good movie last year about a guy who went back to rescue his sled dogs, abandoned down there for months, who had learned to survive in the wilderness. Did you see it? Do you get movies? Everything but dancing girls these days maybe, hm? With women's lib nowadays, maybe even that too, who knows? Did you know that doctor who had to operate on herself? Where are you from originally? USA I presume? Whereabouts? If you get time, let me hear from you. My husband will be interested in reading what you write, I'm sure!

Roberto, What a surprise to know you're in the Soth Pole for a 6th time!!! You're amazing. Your pictures are glorious!!!

I think often about you. I was thinking though, I had wanted for you and my daughter to fall in love and get married, but now I know she would not have been able to compete with the south pole.

I'm so glad you love it so and can go there; (stay at the pole!) Your Mom surely misses you despite having her grandchild. i'm convinced.

Our son Bernard finished his Masters in English Lit, and is looking into a PhD program. Ariane, our daughter, finished her PhD in British Literature, early modernist, Shakespere is her specialty. She defends her dissertation in December. Is looking for Tenured track position at a University.
I'm still teaching in High School.(This is my last year). Lou is also practicing oncology. We're well.

Dear Roberto, keep safe and well. Come and visit us in Pueblo any time. You can stay with us. We would love to have you.
I was glad to see you celebrated also el cinco de mayo down under. Now, you will have to celebrate the 25th of July, The day of the constitution in Puerto Rico. Vale ? De acuerdo.

"Diese Welt am Südpol hat ja nun gar nichts Wirtliches, sie empfängt den Besucher doch nur auf eigene Rechnung; sie duldet sein Eindringen, seine Gegenwart auf eine nicht geheure Weise und Gefühle des still bedrohlich Elementaren, des nicht eimal Feindseligen, sind es, die von ihr ausgehen. Das Kind der Zivilisation aber, dem die wilde Natur von Hause aus fremd ist, ist ihrer Größe zugänglich.

Must have been in 1979 that I had a brief chat with someone at South Pole Station via Ham radio, when I was much younger and still DXing on SSB. I seem to recall that it was the first time a woman was doing a winter-over. But memory fades.

I only wish I could go! I wonder what sort of experiments in my own field (molecular biology) are going on down there. Stay warm and keep up the good work!

Servus Robert!
Nachdems bei uns auch schon lange kalt (relativ) ist, erinnerten wir uns an das kurze aber lustige Zusammentreffen auf einer Plätte bei Regen in Burghausen auf Moni und Stefans Hochzeitsfest! Deine Polgeschichten haben wir nun mit Bildern aufgefrischt und wir verstehen nun auch, warum der alk manchmal ausgeht...! Halte durch beim größten Big Brother der Welt!!!
Wir gehen davon aus, dass du von der Vermehrung des Paares weißt - anscheinend gehts ihnen gut, man hört zumindest wenig! Viel Spaß noch und cu mal wieder in Burghausen! Meike und Schorsch

Hallo Robert Schwarz, ich habe mir die Bilder von Ihrer Reise zum Südpol angesehen. Einfach toll. Ich hoffe, Sie haben inzwischen meine eMail zum Weihnachtsfest erhalten. Sie war zunächst zurückgekommen. Es war ein Fehler in der Anschrift. Bin gespannt, ob diese Zeilen Sie erreichen. Nochmals frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Herzliche Grüße from Old Germany. Karl-Heinz Kuhlmann.
