Only in Antarctica: Part 3

And for our final installment of "Only in Antarctica", here are some fun, weird, and interesting facts about life in Antarctica:

Sundial: Only in Antarctica can you have a sundial that can tell time all day and night.

The Troll Under the Bridge: 


Cadaver Table: In Antarctica, you need to be ready for any situation, even the grim.  That is why in the kitchen out at the Pegasus Ice Runway they have a Cadaver table for autopsies ...  that is also advertised as an "emergency" shower...hmmm


 Pets:  What happens when the ladies who work in the salad room find a slug on some fresh veggies flown in from Christchurch?  GALLEY PET! After 5 months, it is nice to have something that is living that won't complain about the food!


Freshies:  Last week we received our first shipment of fresh fruit, vegetables, and eggs since before Christmas! You've never seen so many happy faces until you watch a bunch of people biting into a banana after months without.  What also made this so special was that it was the first unexpired food we've had in awhile.  For some reason expiration dates are not recognized on this continent.  Most of our food expired years ago, but I guess since it was buried in some millvan under snow for the past five, it negates all those years in between.  Rip Van Winkle pork chops.  Needless to say, fresh bananas made everyone bonkers!

Typos: Not all passport stamps are created equal.  

The "C" is not as silent as it appears in the first stamp.


Sometimes I get bored:
