On the Saturday after Thanksgiving Stateside, South Pole celebrates Thanksgiving. Most of the station had the day off, and it was quite the festive weekend. A few days in advance, everyone who wanted was welcome to participate in making a couple dozen pies, which definitely helped to set the mood.
Then, the day of, a gaggle of other volunteers got the galley transformed with shocking speed. My favorite part is that all of the windows were blocked out so that we could pretend it was not broad daylight as always, and a video of a roaring fire was played on the info scroll screens.
With so many people to feed and the need for volunteers to serve wine and pie and bus dishes, there were two seatings.
And the food was pretty darn yummy.
That night, some of the rec volunteers even organized a dance in the gym, South Pole-style.
Happy Thanksgiving!
