"A Dispatch from McMurdo," by Phil Jacobsen by ProximityMag

In this audio essay, Phil Jacobsen tells the story of a morning at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, where he’s stationed for the winter. On this particular morning, he’s working as a radio operator, maintaining communications with a group of mechanics and support staff who are traversing the ice shelf in order to do maintenance at a remote telecommunications facility that’s closed for the winter. Jacobsen’s voice exudes the joy and adventure he’s experiencing while working the wee hours at such a special time and place.
