Pimping!

So my sister, [livejournal.com profile] ceph is going to Antarctica for six weeks to study ice. AWESOME. She's pretty fantastic like that.

She has a blog! If you have any interest in Antarctica, or ice, it would probably be worth checking out.

Last night at dinner, I mentioned that it's International Blog Against Racism Week, and we tried to come up with something that involves Antarctica and racism that she could write about.

. . . We came up with H. P. Lovecraft.

So there's another reason why you might want to read her blog. :D (Also she was talking about these insanely creepy sounding places called the Dry Valleys where there's no snow or ice at all because off the high winds, but there are mummified seals hundreds of years old. WHAT. The real Antarctica: just as creepy as Lovecraft and twice as weird.)

Hm. I had best go post something, then.

I will blog about the Dry Valleys soon. Meanwhile here are some pictures of ventifacts.
