Actually, I'M ALREADY HERE!! As I write this, I'm sitting in the Crary Lab Library, at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Yeah, I still can't believe it. The short story is that 1.5 years ago, I applied for the USAP Artists & Writers Grant to make a graphic novel about Antarctica, and I got it! The long story is...well, that'll come later. It is an INCREDIBLE privilege to be a part of this program, and to have the opportunity to travel to one of the most remote (and cold) parts of the Earth! Also, PENGUINS!
Whenever I can, I'll be posting updates, photos, and drawings on Twitter, Instagram, and here! The internet is a little slow (think mid-nineties dial-up, but without those sweet, sweet modem sounds), and there'll be times when I'm out in the field for a week at a time, so apologies ahead of time if these posts are intermittent.
I look forward to sharing my adventures with you all!
Cheers, Maris
