ANTARCTICA - JOURNEY TO THE ICE








Hi everyone! I got fairly sick of Yahoo changing the top-level domain and breaking my links all the time, so I have migrated this entire website to our www.rayandzoe.net server. The new server is much faster and does not have any adverts either - so better all round basically. To access the newer website click here. For those who get some pleasure out of frustratingly slow websites with ads and broken links, the original Geocities website is available below!











Mawson Station from West Arm, Antarctica

The sign says it all...


Mawson Station lies in Mac Robertson Land in the Australian Antarctic Territory, East Antarctica. It is over 5200 kilometres southwest of Perth, and lies closer to South Africa than it does to Australia. The station is a science research station, with programs this season in Biology, Upper Atmospheric Physics, Seismology, Geomagnetism, Meteorology, Atmospheric Research, and Medical Research. It is my privilege to spend the year here, assisting in some of these programs, and to pass on some of the amazing experiences I have in Antarctica. I hope that you find this website both interesting and informative. Please make use of the guestbook should you have any questions, requests, or just to say Hi.
