Abstract
An expedition to King George Island (KGI), Antarctica was conducted during January, 2010. The main goal was to search for ancient organic carbon buried under ice and to understand the role of such organic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The team traveled to King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands, situated just off the Antarctic Peninsula.  Their objective was to seek physical evidence to corroborate a new conception of the carbon cycle advanced by Dr. Zeng.  An associate professor at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science and the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center of the University of Maryland, Dr. Zeng’s research focus is the interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and the implications for unraveling the riddles of climate dynamics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bulat, the glacier man, told me that summer on King George Island is always bright and sunny, but there&#8217;s usually one week of rain and overcast skies.  We landed just in time for that gray week.  The windows of our hut yesterday morning showed so little visibility it didn&#8217;t seem as if we could get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Color matters in the Antarctic.  Stream of melt water and rain water spill over on some parts of the trail, and you can tramp through them, the water coming up to your ankles.  You notice pools of blue water in various spots, and you learn not to walk on them.  Blue is the color of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The foot of the glacier looks like the bottom of an ordinary snow-covered hill.  But when you brush some of the snow away with the toe of your boot, you see ice underneath.  Two additional facts:  The glacier should more properly be called an icecap, and it has a mezzanine.  If you&#8217;re standing at the [...]]]></description>

Every building in every compound has inner and outer doors, with a small vestibule in between.  One is asked to remove one&#8217;s outdoor footwear before entering a building, a necessary procedure to avoid messing the floors.  The same rule holds in the Arctic.  Boots are stored in the vestibule.  The Russians, [...]]]></description>
