Greetings!
Tomorrow I will board a plane in Virginia that will be the first of at least six flights that will deposit me, disoriented yet wide-eyed in Christchurch, New Zealand. After a few days to rest and gear up, I'm scheduled for the New Year's Day flight from Christchurch to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. I'll have a bunk in this outpost – the Gateway to Antarctica – for about six weeks, where I will be chaplain to researchers and all the support staff at this base. I expect to travel a bit around this beautiful continent, including a night (and the inevitable photo ops) at the new South Pole Station. I expect to begin my travels back to the States by late February.
In the event that you'd like to mail something to Antarctica, I'd gladly receive your mail! The address:
Chaplain Jake Marvel
Bldg 165 Rom 114
PSC 469 Box 700
APO AE 96599-1035
I'm off to spend more time today with Charis, Bekah and Misha!
Peace,
Jake
