Hello Henry – thanks for stopping by and checking this site out. Your father has a beautiful stretch of the earth named in his honor.

On that same trip, I ended up climbing and skiing Mt. Mohl. Afterwards, I tried to find/contact the Mohl family (I think he was a hydrologist on Operation Deep Freeze?), to no avail. There is a lot of interesting and obscure history down in that section of the world.

I have come lately to this photograph and like it as much as any I have seen of Dater Glacier, which was named after my father Henry M. Dater an Antarctic historian.

Yep, I’m sorta related . . . Jim Okonek is my grandpa’s cousin . . . not exactly linear, but same bloodline :-)

See you next month – should be a blast! Now, I just need to figure out my Halloween costume!

Hi Kellie – I’m going on the Ski Cruise with Doug Stoup. It should be a blast and it’s not that far off. We’ll be skiing in a little over a month! It will be fun to meet you in person.

Are you related to the Okonek bush pilot up in Alaska?

Happy turns,
Andrew

You going on the boat or another trip in Antarctica this fall? Can’t wait to see the TR if it’s a personal trip or to say hi in person if you’ll be on SkiCruise!
