People at South Pole: Martin

Martin is the operations manager at South Pole. He makes sure that
everything at the Station is running, from water, heating (very
important), you name it. I met him at bag drag at McMurdo, where we
have to bring our bags to a certain location and have all our check-in
luggage weighed, then ourselves and carry-on weighed for the flight to
South Pole. He was also on the same flight the next day. This is his
second time going down: he was out earlier this season, went home to
Denver for the holidays. Then he got a call requesting that he come
back because the person who took over his job for the second half of
the season got sick and had to go home. So here he is, back at South
Pole again. This must be some sort of record...
