People at the South Pole: Jim and Forest

This is Jim on the left, and Forest on the right. Jim managed the
production of all the DOMs up north, and keeps track of all the
scientific cargo (DOMs, cables, etc.) being shipped around. On the
ice, he makes sure that the DOMs get tested go where they need to go,
and he coordinates the drilling activities with the scientists. He
also makes sure that everyone is busy, and when scientists come down
here, they know what to do.

Forest is a driller. He also takes amazing photos and when he's not
on the ice, he travels around the world as a photo journalist. Many
of the postcards of the South Pole are his work, he made a great short
film for SPIFF 2010. You can find samples of his work here.
