Jen spent the fall of 2023 through March of 2024 down in Antartica and got to experience a bunch of cool adventures while at McMurdo. We will learn a little about her background and she will tell some stories about what it takes to live in one of the most remote areas of the world. All this plus rabies news, The Longest Day Hike for Alzheimer's event is this weekend, Mount Everest News, and Stomp sets a Pemi Loop FKT for being the first and fastest hiker to carry a pool noodle on the route
