Hey Bron and Bear Grylls,
Thank you for the pictures. Bear looks great on the bike with his sunnies on. What has been the most exiting thing u have done since we have talked to you. What has been the most coldest day in October? What has been the warmest day in October? We are doing a weather report at school I was wondering if you could give me some tips for the weather report. Hope you are both having fun.
Love from Kassidy

Hi Kassidy

Sorry this info might be way too late for your report. The coldest day in October was -15.6C and the warmest was -1.1C. I hope you are having fun at school

I love going to visit the Emperor Penguins they are so amazing! It's pretty exciting riding a quad bike out there, it's very bumpy and sometimes we get bogged in the snow.

Cheers

Bron

Hi Bron and bear grylls,
I like the photos but my fav is the one were bear gryll is on the bike
What day has been the hottest? We are doing a project on weather
I'm doing London weather. Do you have any tips about how to write
a weather report? Is there any snow storms?

From Natasha.

Bron

Hi Natasha

Our weather is much warmer now, it's fantastic! We've had few days above 0*C!!
What did you think was interesting about London's weather?
I'd have to ask our weather people about writing reports but maybe the information below will give you some tips about what to include in your reports?
We have snow storms quite a lot, we call them blizzards.
Here's the info:

Temperatures - at Mawson during October we expect:
• A maximum temperature about -9.9°C. The average maximum for the month was -8.6°C. The coldest maximum was –15.6°C and the warmest -1.1°C
• A minimum temperature about -16.4°C. The average minimum for the month was -14.8°C. The coldest minimum was -21.8°C and the warmest -4.7°C.

Hi Bron has bear Grylls been riding on the quad bike? And has he been helping you work?

Bron

18/11/2012 02:57:35 pm

Hi Lewis

Bear and I have been riding quad bikes quite a lot lately, it's really good fun.
He helps everyone with their work on station but we've had a few special dinners lately so I have needed extra help from him in the kitchen.
Hoep you are well.

Cheers

Hi Bron, I loved the photos that you sent to us. It must be very cold at Antarctica . What is the hottest day in Antarctica? We are learning about weather, have their been any bad weather their(Hailstorm,Tornado,,Hurricane,Snowstorm and Tsunami). At the moment we are doing a weather report, we have a Olympic Games country. We do our Olympic Capital City, my country is Northern Ireland. The Capital City is Belfast. I hope that you can give me some weather of Northern Ireland. Se you soon.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:01:45 pm

Hi Oaklee

Glad you liked the photos!

The hotttest day here was in 1974 on Jan 9th, it was +10.6*C.

We have blizzards here where the wind blows very hard (sometimes over 100km/hr) and there might also be snow blowing with the wind.

What did you learn about Northern Ireland?

Cheers Bron

We've had a few birthdays here so I have made special cakes for people. Plus Bear and I have been on a few trips of station which has been fun.

You must be close to the end of the year, how exciting, I love Summer holidays and going swimming!!

Cheers

To Bron,
Thanks for the pitchers I loved the when he was on the quad bike. We are doing the weather this term I've got a question to ask you what has been the warmest temperature. If you see fairy penguins could you take a photo of them please from Kelsey.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:10:15 pm

Hi Kelsey

I'm glad you liked the pictures!

The warmest temperature ever at Mawson was +10.6*C (in 1974). Last month it was -1.1*C. It's so nice that it's warming up here.
I had shorts on the other day! It was -5*C and felt warm :)

We have Adelie and Emperor Penguins here at Mawson, can you find a picture on the internet of the Adelies?

Cheers
Bron

Ha Bron and bear Gyrlls
Great pictures I like the one with bear Gyrlls on the quad bike.Have you had any storms over there.Mr Richardson told us to ask you about the weather because we are learning about weather.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:12:20 pm

Hi Thomas
Thanks!
We have blizzards here quite a bit. That's when the wind speed is consistently over 30knots for an extended period of time. It gets very hard to walk outside when the wind is over about 65knots. But it depends on how much you weigh!
Hope you had fun learning about weather.

Cheers
Bron

Dear Bron,
Hi I like the photos.We are learning about weather it is a bit hard finding the temperature but it is fun how are you going has there been a snowstorm? Have you seen any penguins yet.
From Lucy

Bron

18/11/2012 03:14:05 pm

Hi Lucy
Did you find the info you needed ok?
We have quite a few snow storms here, they are called blizzards.
We have been to the Emperor Penguin Rookery and now there are Adelie Penguins about 3km from the station which is very cool.
Cheers
Bron

Hi Bron
How has it been in the freezing cold
In summer is it warmer then the winter.
Here in colac it has some cold days and some warm.
in November me and friends are going camping with the dads the mums don't come.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:15:33 pm

Hi Millie
Hope your camping trip was fun?
It must be warming up in Colac. It's much warmer here too which is great! It's much easier to be outside without your nose freezing off :)
Cheers
Bron

Hey Bron the weather down here in colac is a bit cold at the moment. I had a great two weeks of school holidays I went camping at Lake Elizabeth with my sister Marl firend Lisa , it was so fun. What have you and bear grills I like the photo's did you take them yourself because they are good shots of bear grills and the animals. What have the weather been like up there p.s I would love to know has there been any bad weather.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:19:00 pm

Hi Elisah
I bet it's warmed up in Colac now?
Glad to hear you enjoyed the camping, it's awesome fun hey? I liked camping in March when we did our survival training here, it was pretty cold though.
I did take the photos of Bear and the penguins. I just have a little 'point and shoot' camera, sometimes it would be good to have special lenses.
It's getting much warmer here now, which is fantastic. I love being outside and walking around.
We have at least one blizzard each month and sometimes more down here.
Cheers
Bron

Tegan

17/10/2012 12:14:07 pm

Dear bear Grylls
We have been learning about weather. Has been cold? Do you wish it was warm sometimes or do you like the cold? Is it fun there? Do you skate there? Have you seen any cool animals lately? Have you seen whales?
Bye tegan

Bear G

18/11/2012 03:22:38 pm

Hi Tegan
It is still cold at times here, mostly the temperature averages -10*C during the day. But some days it's been around 0*C.
We went skating a bit last month and the ice was really smooth, you have to go when it's not windy or you get blown away from station and it's really hard to get back :)
The ocean is still frozen near station so we don't see whales but we've seen lots of seals lately. They bite holes in the ice and come and lie on top. A lot have had babies and they are so cute.
Hope you had fun doing your weather unit.

Bron and Bear

18/11/2012 03:24:58 pm

Hi Elliott
It's been much warmer here lately, I was wearing shorts the other day! Hard to imagine because it was still -5*C. Bear got a bit hot with all his fur.
Hope you had fun on your holiday.
Cheers
Bron + Bear

Dear Bron,
I'm just wondering cold it is down in Antarctica because it is cold here but I know it is colder down there.
We've got 2 chickens and we've only got them a couple of weeks ago.
They are both girls and their names are Elmar and Milo.

Bron

18/11/2012 03:26:30 pm

Hi Darcy
Yes it's still pretty cold at times down here, especially if the wind is blowing.
I love fresh eggs, are your chickens laying for you?
Have fun.
Bron

Hi Bron
What is the weather like down there is there any types of tsunamis or volcanoes?

Bron

18/11/2012 03:35:46 pm

Hi Liam

Occasionally when a big iceberg rolls over or a huge piece breaks off and falls in to the ocean it creates a big wave. But I can't say we have Tsunamis as such. I imagine if there was one that started near here we might be affected.
You might want to Google Mt Erebus, that's an active volcano down here.
