I spent some time in New Zealand (not enough time for sure!). While I was in NZ I did a short bike trip.
Next I flew to McMurdo which is a US research base on the coast of Antarctica. I got stuck in McMurdo for a few days due to weather and mechanical issues with airplanes
Finally, I flew from McMurdo to the South Pole so I could actually do the work that I had made the big trip for.
