Good day.
This is Chris Simmons Solomon, and I'm at 87 degrees 12 minutes south and 133 degrees 55 minutes west in central Antarctica.
I'm a mountain guide for a traverse with 13 mechanics and tractor operators in the US Antarctic Program.
We've been traveling now for three weeks from McMurdo Station with essential science equipment and fuel supplies for the Edmonton Scott South Pole Station.
Now, this podcast was recorded at 12:37pm.
On Tuesday, November 26.
So things may have changed by the time you hear it, but we'll likely still be making our way through whiteout blizzards and temperatures below negative 40 Celsius or Fahrenheit, working hard to keep all the 14 noses, 28 ears and 139 fingers we started out with.
All right, let's get to it.
I have a chill just listening to that time, though.
I mean, part of me wants to go and do the podcast from there.
That is an extremely cool job that I would never, ever want to do.
Hey there.
It's the NPR Politics podcast.
I'm Susan Davis.
I cover politics.
I'm Frank Ordonez.
