Cleaning and Care

Friday, November 20, 2009 by My Carhartt Story
I have an 8" Carhartt Brown boot style # 3907. The leather upper is sort of "brushed-suede" fell. How do you clean this fabric from dirt, marks, stains, etc.? How would you care for it?

Hooded Pullover pocket

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 by My Carhartt Story
Do any of the hooded pullovers have a pocket inside the hand-warmer pocket for a cell phone or other small electonic device. Perferably the inside pocket would have a zipper.

BLACK Merino wool socks

Monday, November 16, 2009 by My Carhartt Story
What happened to the medium weight BLACK Merino wool socks? I bought everyone I could find because I live in them. I wear them to work, church, everywhere. I am wearing them out (although they wear like iron). Where can I get some more? You seem to have dropped the color black from your selection.

Camo bibs

Monday, November 16, 2009 by Carhartt Blog Team
I would really like to see carhartt bring back their camo uninsulated bibs with the elastic shell holders in the front. I have got many years use out of mine but they are torn to shreads on account of the bryers we have where I hunt. It was the worst thing you could have done to me to discontinue this item. Im begging PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!

Antarctica's active volcano letting off smoke

Monday, November 16, 2009 by Jeffrey Lewis
Mount Erebus in Antarctica is the southernmost historically active volcano on Earth. With a summit elevation of 3,794 meters (12,448 ft), it is located on Ross Island, which is also home to three inactive volcanoes, notably Mount Terror. Mount Erebus is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which includes over 160 active volcanoes.
The volcano has been observed to be continuously active since 1972 and is the site of the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory run by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. 

Mount Erebus was discovered on January 27, 1841 (and observed to be in eruption) by polar explorer Sir James Clark Ross who named it and Mount Terror after his ships, Erebus and Terror.

Air New Zealand Flight 901 was a scheduled Air New Zealand sightseeing flight that operated between 1977 and 1979, from Auckland Airport to Antarctica and return. On 28 November 1979, the fourteenth such flight, operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, crashed into Mount Erebus on Ross Island, killing all 237 passengers and 20 crew on board. The accident is commonly known as the (Mount) Erebus disaster. Air New Zealand discontinued the service after the crash.

KIWIS ON THE ICE

Saturday, November 14, 2009 by Jeffrey Lewis

Scott Base: Antarctica
Scott Base was constructed for New Zealand's participation in the International Geophysical Year and Commonwealth Transantarctic Expedition and was officially opened on January 20 1957.  Designed only for a short life the base began a rebuilding programme in 1976.







Scott base is a New Zealand run Antarctic base situated about 2 miles from McMurdo. It is much smaller than McMurdo (all other Antarctic bases are much smaller than McMurdo!) Scott Base accommodates up to 58 people over the summer and a skeleton staff of 10-14 over the winter.
Scott has been occupied as a year-round base since 1957. (More on Mount Erebus - Antarctic's active Volcano in the background in the days to come).



Pressure Ridges

A pressure ridge (Background) is an ice formation typically found on large frozen lakes or sea ice during the winter. A long ridge of ice that has formed when two floes of thick ice have been squeezed together by wind or ocean currents, with the ice breaking into chunks that pile upward and also downward below the ice. This ice is difficult and dangerous to cross on foot or with sleds or snowmobiles. Live Scott base weather conditions can be seen at
