Santa bring his gifts early...

The initial batch of samples have arrived back at LSU. The majority of our ice samples come back on a ship, and won't be here until April, but a lucky few of our sample filters got to come home early for Christmas by airplane. Unfortunately, it is very expensive to ship samples home by air, and the majority of our samples must come home on the boat. Nevertheless, I am confident that the these initial filtered samples will provide some great results during the mean time.

I am in Montreal for 10 days during the Christmas holidays, so I'm back in the snow again after escaping Antarctica. HaHa. Luckily though, I won't be sleeping in a tent this time.
