We had a gala time today with snow fights and a lot of frolicking in the snow after dinner. Unlike in the winters, the snow was wet and sticky, and so we were soon fully covered with snow. The wind did not bite as during the winters. It was a bonanza for the summer team members, who usually don’t see a blizzard during their stay here.
This blog makes me the only Indian to blog from Antarctica during the winters. This blog is about my experiences in Antarctica and about Antarctica till I stumble across new things.

The blizzard continues
The blizzard continues to ravage us for the second day today. It picked up pace in the morning and sometimes the visibility was reduced to 100m. It was very unlike a cold winter blizzard. We can call it an enjoyable blizzard or a happy blizzard, with warm temperatures, low wind velocity, decent visibility but lots of snow deposition. Towards evening, the wind velocity dropped drastically, and as I write this, it is now reduced to just a snowfall with a breeze.
