Last year was a much warmer year than this year. When I was in the uplands last year, the ponds were very easy to spot.
This year snow stuck to the ground and is completely obscuring the ponds!
It's interesting to see how things change!

Upland Ponds: Before and After
While I am based mostly out of McMurdo Station this year, I did make it out into the Dry Valleys for a couple of days to help with some reconnaissance on the upland ponds area.

So glad to see you are posting. Funny thing: I checked yesterday (Thursday, Dec. 31) and this was not up yet. The date shows Tuesday. I guess you are really far away!
I started it on Tuesday, but our internet wasn't running well enough to upload pictures until today. I didn't even realize it would keep the original date :)
