Springville Man Works in Antarctica for NSF
Rich Lorimer of Springville spent nearly four months in Antarctica under the National Science Foundation. He slept in a snow trench during survival training as temperatures plunged to 25 to 30 below zero. His entry into the program followed his wife Julie reading Ice Bound, and he pursued the Raytheon Polar Services opportunity via a Denver based site.

Lorimer describes his NSF Antarctic assignment at McMurdo Station on Ross Island where logistical life resembled a campus. He notes DIY problem solving with limited parts, extreme cold kit performance, and the social equalities among crew. He plans to return home before Christmas to his family.
