And so begins my last week at the South Pole…
Winter is coming.
Things are really winding down here. The population is dropping fast and the energy has shifted. It might sound crazy in a place surrounded by nothingness, but I swear Fall is here.

More WW Interview
Of course my favorite quotes from the WW interview were cut… bollocks. I’ll share them now.
WW: Where does the food you eat come from? Is anything local? Me: … including kale!! As a Portlander, It’s totally comforting to sniff local kale at the South Pole.
