Hey Liam, I
found you a penguin. He was outside of
the coffee-house in McMurdo station and has come to the South Pole with me to
help out.
Here he is advising us on the fridge. Since he's from a cold climate, he has natural expertise in cryogenics:
When we’re done here, I’ll bring him home to you. What should we name him? I’ll post photos of him from time-to-time.
Note to anyone
from the US Antarctic Program eves-dropping on this: in case it isn’t obvious,
this is a plush-toy, not a real penguin.
Note to everyone
else: the US is one of many countries to have signed the Antarctic Treaty
designed to preserve the pristine wilderness on the continent. Signatories make no territorial claims and do
not recognize others. Military is kept
off the continent except in support of scientific research missions. And individuals are not supposed to export
materials from the continent, alive or inanimate without permission from
regulatory bodies that ensure those materials are for scientific research.
