Snapshot from Antarctica (2/18)

Bosun Phil Corl sent this photo to the Seafarers LOG showing SIU members during their recent participation in Operation Deep Freeze, the annual resupply mission to McMurdo Station in Antarctica.

Corl said the crew aboard the USNS Paul Buck “was one of the finest I’ve had the pleasure of working with. They were a role model of an SIU crew. The camaraderie and professionalism of every member of the crew made the voyage not only bearable but a pleasure.”

More details about the mission will be published in an upcoming issue of the LOG.
