My name is Mark T. Barabe. I'm 22 years old, from Portsmouth, RI and work as a Crash Fire Fighter here in Antarctica. This is my first year here so everything is pretty exciting. I've never seen anything like the landscapes here. Down here I work for Antarctic Support Associates. They are the contractor for the National Science Foundation. While I'm at home I work at a pizza place, part time for a town rescue and I'm in the US Marine Corps reserves.
