Shuttle Nate, Mr Antarctica

I was going through my photos for a new post when I noticed something peculiar. There's lot of photos I've taken of people that I work with and hang out with, but they're typically group shots of people screwing around and posing. One man keeps popping up however in solo pictures, and I've amassed quite the collection of photos of him. That man, of course, is Shuttle Nate.

Look! Here he is climbing out of the Ob Tube!

Shit, look at him sporting that purple jacket while rocking the shuffleboard table at Southern Exposure!

Wow! Look at that puck placement!!


Here he peaking up the skirt of Our Lady of the Snows!

And here he is, holy shit, showing off his mad astronomy skills and giving the weekly science lecture in the galley!

These are just a few of the Shuttle Nate photos I've found on my phone. I've decided not to posts the ones of him sleeping, because that would just be creepy. It also seems that I have more shots of him than of myself, so he comes off as a typical McMurdo resident while I am, per usual, socially invisible.

Come back next week and I'll post my pictures of Nate scaling Mt. Erebus, scuba diving under the Ross Island ice shelf, and baking chocolate chip cookies. In case there is any confusion, yes, in my pictures he is doing all three things at the same time.
