Since it is currently summer in the Southern Hemisphere, field work in Antarctica often occurs across the holiday season and start of the new year. Since we can’t celebrate with our family and friends at home, we do our best to celebrate together on the ice. This year, Elf on the Shelf decided to join us for some holiday fun! What is Elf getting up to on the Ross Ice Shelf? A bit of mischief but he also tries to help out with a bit of light mechanical work!
