Battling high winds and frigid temperatures, Senior Airman Richard Westra, Raymond Richards, Staff Sgt. Jeremy Hannah and Senior Airman Andrew Pouncy , all seismic maintainers from the Air Force Technical Applications Center, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., receive fuel resupply via helicopter from the National Science Foundation at AFTAC’s repeater site at Mt. Newell, Antarctica. The Airmen use the fuel to power the batteries that are the energy source for their seismic data collection equipment, radios and other communications functions.
