Snowcraft School

Dear Friend,

Like all newcomers to McMurdo, I had to attend a two-day Snowcraft School. The teachers are experts on how to keep warm and safe out on the snow and ice. A warm summer day here is like a cold winter day in the northern United States. My classmates and I set up camp in a whiteout. We could see only a short distance in the blowing snow.

Your friend,

Bob
