Our team are on the largest shelf they can think of, and it's nearly Christmas (for those who celebrate). So of course there needs to be an elf!

Since we can’t celebrate with our family and friends at home, we do our best to celebrate together on the ice. And this year we're doing with it an Elf. We are happy to report Elf is joyously helpful here on the Ross Ice Shelf.

What do elves do on the biggest shelf they've ever seen? Everything from gazing at the beauty, to being inducted into driving a dingo, fixing a generator, directing coffee breaks, and trying to go for a dip in the flubber.

More photos of the Elf on the Ross Ice Shelf's adventures are here.
