Ian and Nate were the first of the BLAST team to arrive in Christchurch, New Zealand! The first order of business is a trip to the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) clothing distribution center to get all the extreme cold weather (ECW) gear needed for living and working in Antarctica!
-
- Ian shows off his full ECW gear
-
- Nate is pretty psyched that the jackets have fancy name tags
-
- There are lots of types of gear available depending on your job on the ice
-
- Everybody gets a pair of snazzy orange bags with all your gear
