Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh sued for $100,000 in child support
BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Political email@example.com July 27, 2011 9:59PM

Updated: June 13, 2012 10:33AM
Freshman U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, a tax-bashing Tea Party champion who sharply lectures President Barack Obama and other Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children, according to documents his ex-wife filed in their divorce case in December.
"I won't place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town spends money!" Walsh says directly into the camera in his viral video lecturing Obama on the need to get the nation's finances in order.
Walsh starts the video by saying, "President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you've bankrupted this country."
In court documents, after his ex-wife, Laura Walsh, asked a judge to suspend his driver's license until he paid his child support, Joe Walsh asks his ex-wife's lawyer: "Have you no decency?"
Joe Walsh's attorney, R. Steven Polachek, called the claim of a $117,437 debt "unfounded."
"I dispute that he owes the child support that she's claiming or anywhere near that amount," Polachek said. "Joe Walsh hasn't been a big-time wage-earner politician until recently — he's had no more problems with child support than any other average guy."
While Laura Walsh's attorneys say they have been awaiting a meeting with Joe Walsh's attorney to work out a settlement, Polachek said it's her attorneys who have been stalling.
'No compromise'
An intense, silver-haired firebrand, Walsh, 49, has taken cable TV by storm in recent weeks, becoming the unofficial spokesman for the "No compromise" faction of the Republican majority in the U.S. House — refusing to consider any debt crisis solution that includes raising taxes on the wealthy.
Walsh admits he is not wealthy. Some of his financial problems — including losing his Evanston condo to foreclosure — were documented before his out-of-nowhere victory last fall in the 8th Congressional District in Chicago's north and northwest suburbs.
But court documents examined this week by the Chicago Sun-Times during research for a profile on the increasingly visible congressman showed his financial issues also included a nine-year child support battle with his ex-wife.
Before getting elected, he had told Laura Walsh that because he was out of work or between jobs, he could not make child support payments. So she was surprised to read in his congressional campaign disclosures that he was earning enough money to loan his campaign $35,000.
"Joe personally loaned his campaign $35,000, which, given that he failed to make any child support payments to Laura because he 'had no money' is surprising," Laura Walsh's attorneys wrote in a motion filed in December seeking $117,437 in back child support and interest. "Joe has paid himself back at least $14,200 for the loans he gave himself."
Walsh's attorneys responded in court filings: "Respondent admits that funds were loaned to his campaign fund. . . . Respondent admits that the campaign fund has repaid certain loans."
He personally wrote in court filings that he thought he and his ex-wife were coming to an agreement on the money he owes. He noted that the children have lived with him for part of the last nine years.
Walsh lives with his new wife and children in McHenry. He has not paid any of the $117,437 yet, Laura Walsh's attorney, Jack Coladarci, said Wednesday.
Took vacations
Joe and Laura Walsh had been married 15 years when she filed for divorce in December 2002. The thickness of the court file reflects Laura Walsh's nine years of trying to collect child support and expenses from a man who crusades against compromise. Laura Walsh went to court repeatedly over the past nine years to get him to pay up, sometimes even asking the court to garnish his wages, court records show.
In 2004, Laura Walsh complained in a motion that despite her ex-husband's claims of poverty, he took a vacation to Mexico with his girlfriend and another to Italy. The following year, he complained in a court filing that his ex-wife mailed him a motion while she knew he was in Nicaragua doing charitable work with one of their children.
In her December filing, Laura Walsh's attorneys wrote, "The apparent availability of large sums of money from either his employment, his family or his campaign has allowed him to live quite a comfortable lifestyle, while at the same time, due to his failure to pay child support or any of his share of the education costs or medical expenses, Laura and his children were denied any of these advantages."
After Joe Walsh missed payments, Cook County Judge Grace Dickler wrote in a 2005 order, "If Joe Walsh fails to tender [his 50 percent share of children's expenses] to Laura within 7 days, ONE TIME, the court shall enter an automatic withdrawal . . . from Joe Walsh's employer."
In the most current controversy, Walsh has responded to his ex-wife's plea for $117,000 by submitting an e-mail that he says shows she was willing in September to settle with him for about $10,000.
An e-mail from her that the congressman attached to a court motion showed Laura Walsh saying: "For almost 2½ years now I have been very patient about money you owe me for your share of the children's expenses because I thought you were not working. Even last summer when I was out of work for a few months, I scraped to pay for medical and education-related expenses on my own."
That e-mail dealt with child expenses above and beyond the child support debt.
Rep. Walsh responded with this e-mail to her: "Laura, I'm good with what you're proposing."
In prior years, court records show Walsh objecting to paying for expenses such as summer camp or a homecoming suit he never agreed to.
But, at least recently, he appears to be paying his share of the expenses, said Laura Walsh's attorney, Coladarci, "because I haven't been getting calls from my client saying he hasn't."
Work history
Laura Walsh is a non-practicing attorney who works for the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, according to the state of Illinois' Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Committee.
As a sometimes-employed financial consultant/venture capitalist/Republican activist, Joe Walsh's resume is difficult to characterize. His congressional disclosure statement says he earned $14,500 in 2009 from Advantage Futures and Michigan Avenue Ventures and $8,000 in self-employment.
In 2010, he was paid $21,000 by the United Republican Fund of Illinois. He also has worked as a teacher and an administrator of education trust funds. He now is paid $175,000 a year as a congressman.
When Coladarci called the congressional payroll office to have them enforce a court order withholding $2,164 from Walsh's monthly check for child support, the payroll staffer "seemed surprised" and said "tsk, tsk, tsk," Coladarci said.
Congress has withheld child support money from members' paychecks over the years when ordered by a court, said Dan Weiser, a spokesman for the U.S. House of Representatives. He did not elaborate.
In 1994, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Illinois) owed $8,500 in child support.
'Trying to work out a settlement'
Both sides in the Walsh case have been negotiating Walsh's overdue child support since he filed his response in February.
"Out of respect for his being in Washington, we haven't been pushing it. We have been trying to work out a settlement," Coladarci said.
After Laura Walsh filed for divorce in 2002, Joe Walsh counter-filed for divorce and sought custody of the children, saying he worked from home and Laura Walsh "suffers from psychological and other conditions." He has not repeated that charge in written motions since 2003. The couple had three children, then ages 15, 12 and 8. They are now 23, 20 and 16.
In addition to the foreclosure on his condominium, Walsh was haunted during his campaign by disclosures of liens on his property from unpaid bills and staffers abandoning his campaign, saying he wasn't paying them.
Keith Liscio, who said Walsh hired him to be campaign manager — Walsh disputes that — has sued Walsh for $20,000 in salary he said Walsh owes him. Both sides are trying to settle that case.
Staffers learned during the campaign that Walsh was driving on a suspended license. His license was suspended twice in 2008 for his failure to appear in court, and he was cited in 2009 for driving on a suspended license, according to the Illinois Secretary of State.
Walsh's energetic Tea Party politics are making him the darling of cable TV. He addressed a Tea Party rally Wednesday at the Capitol and appeared Wednesday night on CNN saying he and other "troublesome conservatives" in the House won't vote for anything less than "a profound deal that will change this town so we never get to this point again."
For more than 10 minutes last week, he sparred with liberal-leaning MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews, who once confessed that listening to President Obama, "I felt this thrill going up my leg."
Walsh and Matthews shouted over each other for most of the interview about whether the Republican debt plan or Obama's plan was less complete.
"Hey Chris, your president, who sends a tingle up your leg, your president has not been serious in six months! Why do you ignore that?" Walsh said.
"It's our president," Matthews interjected.
"He is our president," Walsh conceded. "He doesn't send a thrill up my leg, Chris, all right?"
After they belittled each other as "childish," Walsh closed by saying, "You need to be more objective, but I love it, Chris."
Illinois Democrats earlier this year, while redrawing congressional boundaries, mapped Walsh out of his district. Walsh, who already has raised $600,000 for a campaign, has not said which district he'll run in.

I would be doing the happy dance!!!! That would be so nice! LUCKY!!!! I'm with Trina. I would clean the house. ENJOY the clean house and scrap!!!!! Oh - I would sleep in too! ;) Maybe spend the day in bed one day too. Teehee
You'll love it for the first 2 days at the most, then you'll be feeling lost and missing them sooo much!
How about doing something completely different..? Stuff you couldn't do with your kids around...
Maybe ring some friends and do some caching up... remembering the old glorious day
For sure don't waste all your alone time cleaning!! Lol. How about a week before they leave tell them ..... If you don't help me get this house clean then your not going.
Lol, that way they will help you and once they leave you can do all fun and relaxing things!
Lots of scrapping, chick flixs, icecream, sleep.... Ahhh enjoy it
Haha good idea Ginger! They have been fighting and i've threatened their rooms are getting seperated again because they are driving me nuts. But i wonder if it would just be easier doing that while they are gone?
Hubs will be out of town for work and he's told me I could come and stay in his hotel room for a few days. Then we can do stuff or I can just do my own thing. I have some doctor appointments to make -- one i've been putting off because obviously kids cant come into the office for a "yearly" .
I will be in heaven with one day of sleeping in to whenever I want without hearing "MOM! I am hungry!" lol. MIL says if it goes good, they want to do it every year. I think I will be on board.
ooooh, I know it'll be tough at first to have them gone, but I bet you'll find LOTS to do!
Umm, but here's what I'd do. ;) I'd clean (just cuz it's easier without kids underfoot), and then I'd get a big bottle of my fave drink and sit down in from of my laptop and scrap my heart out! I'd also go get coffee, meet a friend or two, go to the bookstore, go clothes shopping for MYSELF, get a mani/pedi, get a hair cut (haven't had one since last June!), stay out past 5pm (we eat dinner at 5 and we don't leave the house after that rotfl), go swimming, stay at a hotel overnight just for fun, cook whatever I want to eat lol, go to the Gulf, play my fave music really loudly and sing it even louder (without editing out the songs with swear words rotfl like I have to do when DD is here), or I'd just take a nice nap. Yes, I'd start with a nap!
Hopefully that gives you a few ideas of what you could do!

What is Child Support?
Child Support is money which an absent parent is ordered to pay on a regular basis to help support the cost of raising his or her child
Who is eligible to receive DCS services?
Families who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Children or Medicaid automatically receive DCS services. You qualify to receive DCS non-assistance services if you are not currently receiving services from another state and any one of the following statements applies to you:
- I am a parent who has custody of a minor child.
- I am a lawful custodian of a minor child.
- I am a former custodian who is owed child support that accrued under a support order.
- I am the father of the child and want to establish the paternity of my child.
- I am the non-custodial parent of a child and want to pay support.
- I am due court ordered post-secondary educational support for a child in school.
If both the custodial parent and the noncustodial parent live outside Washington, the non-custodial parent must have some tie to Washington State, such as, a Washington support order, a Washington-based employer, or assets located in Washington. If there is no tie to Washington, apply for services in the state where where one of the parents live.

Division of Child Support
Central Services
P.O. Box 11520
Tacoma, Washington 98411-5520
Once you send in your application, send any child support payments you receive to the Washington State Support Registry. DCS must have a physical record of all payments made by the non-custodial parent.
How long does it take to get support after I apply?
The length of time depends on several things. Sometimes you can receive a child support payment within the first month after DCS takes collection action. The process can take longer if there is no child support order, the paying parent is on public assistance, has no assets, or lives in another state.
What if I disagree with the decision made by the Division of Child Support (DCS)?
In some cases, you have the right to ask for an administrative hearing (adjudicative proceeding) if you disagree with an action taken by DCS. The papers you get will tell you if you can ask for a hearing. You should ask for a hearing right away, since there is a limited time to do so.
You may ask to speak with a lead worker or supervisor if you are unable to resolve things with the worker handling your case.
You may ask for a Conference Board if you disagree with any action taken by DCS. You must first try to resolve the disagreement with staff at the DCS office nearest you. A Conference Board is an informal way to resolve disputes related to how DCS works your case. Sometimes a Conference Board can also provide relief from the effects of collection action or from a support debt. A Conference Board may review the records on your case or may hold a meeting in person or by phone if more information is needed. A Conference Board decision is issued in writing.
A Brochure about Conference Boards is available.
When does DCS stop providing services for my child?
DCS will provide current support services until the child emancipates, leaves the custodian's household, or goes to live with the non-custodial parent. DCS will continue to collect support arrears unless the parties reconcile.
If you want DCS to stop non-assistance services when support is still payable, you must send DCS a letter. DCS must provide payment processing services if the support order makes support payable through the Washington State Support Registry.
When DCS is unable to locate the non-custodial parent or the non-custodial parent's assets for three consecutive years, DCS may close your case. You will be notified if DCS intends to close your case. You have the right to appeal the closure.
I am worried someone will hurt my children or me. What are my Options?
Physical abuse by one person against another is a crime. It also can force a parent to make difficult decisions about child support. Although the Division of Child Support (DCS) would like to collect the money owed to every family, the safety of the family must come first. The list below offers some options to consider when making decisions about child support in light of family violence.
You can tell the policeHarming another person is against the law. You can call your local police department and file a report. If you have left home and have to go back to retrieve clothes or belongings, you may ask the police to accompany you.
You can apply to participate in the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)The ACP assists victims of family violence who are relocating to avoid further abuse. It helps participants keep their home, work and/or school address secret by providing a substitute mailing address. ACP will:
- Give you a substitute mailing address and help you use it.
- Forward your first class mail from the substitute address to your home.
- Assist you in getting many state and local agency services without revealing your address.
- Help you vote or marry without having those records available to the public.
If you receive public assistance, you can get permission not to help collect child supportGenerally, when you receive public assistance (either a cash grant or medical), the Division of Child Support opens a child support enforcement case and you are expected to help us establish and/or collect support. However, if you believe that establishing or enforcing child support will put you or the child in danger, you may claim "good cause" not to cooperate. The Community Services Office (CSO) will evaluate your claim and may decide that it is too dangerous even to open a child support case. You may claim Good Cause when you apply for assistance, or any time afterward. The public assistance office may decide that DCS should stop all establishment and enforcement action on your case, or they may decide that it is safe to continue. You have the right to a hearing on this decision. If good cause is granted, your case will be reviewed by the CSO on a regular basis to see if the danger continues.
If you do not receive public assistance, you can stop enforcement of the child support orderNonassistance custodians can ask DCS to stop working their case. At your request, we will take no action to collect support owed to you. However, if the noncustodial parent owes any back support to Washington State, DCS will continue to collect these arrears. The custodian may request a Conference Board if the collection of arrears by DCS endangers the family. To stop enforcement of your case, contact your Support Enforcement Officer.
Does stopping enforcement mean the debt goes away?If a child support order exists, the child support debt continues to accrue, even when DCS does not collect. In both public assistance and non assistance cases, asking DCS to stop collecting does not end the other parent's responsibility to pay child support. If a child support order exists, the noncustodial parent still owes that amount each month. Unpaid support is a debt that you may be able to collect later.
You can ask a court to grant a civil order of protection.A court can order an offender to stay away from you or the children. A person violating a court order is subject to punishment by the court. Some county courts have a Domestic Violence Unit to help you through this process. Some can help you with filing the necessary documents to obtain an order of protection. Others have advocates to help you in court. Learn more about domestic violence from the Washington Violence Against Women Network.
Read the Frequently Asked Questions page.DSHS has a domestic violence resource web page - The Domestic Violence and Victim Services Programs
Is there already a Child Support Order?
If the answer is Yes then download the Child Support Referral Form (DSHS 14-057) and the Application for Non Assistance Support Enforcement Services Form (DSHS 18-078).
If the answer is No, then download both the Child Support Worksheets, the Child Support Referral Form (DSHS 14-057) and the Application for Non Assistance Support Enforcement Services Form (DSHS 18-078).
For instructions on how to complete the Child Support Worksheets, Click Here.
Administrative Support Order Establishment
DCS will establish support administratively using the Washington State Child Support Schedule when any of the following are true:
- New! July 2012 - Notice and Finding of Financial Responsibility
- There is no court order or administrative support order in any jurisdiction.
- The court order is silent about the non-custodial parent paying support.
- The court order does not set support as a fixed amount, but the amount is determinable.
- The non-custodial father has a valid acknowledgement of paternity on file with a state.
Learn more about how DCS establishes administrative orders. If you think that current child support on your administrative order should change because circumstances have changed, contact DCS. A modification may be appropriate.
Learn more about administrative order modification.
Full Enforcement or Collection Services
DCS enforces all current and back support accrued under a valid child support order.
DCS includes support ordered spousal support and child-care costs only in conjunction with current support.
DCS only collects interest on back support when reduced to a judgment.
Enforcement includes wage withholding, other income withholding, medical enforcement, IRS tax refund attachment, or interstate referral. Services may include license revocation, personal property seizure, or referral for contempt or federal criminal non-support.
Families who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Children or Medicaid automatically receive full-collection services.
Locate Services
DCS provides services to custodial parents who are unable to locate the non-custodial responsible parent for the purposes of collecting child support. DCS will ask other states for help in locating the non-custodial parent. When the non-custodial parent is located, you will be sent an application for services. The non-custodial parent's address may not be released to you without consent.
DCS maintains the Most Wanted Internet site to help with this effort.
Medical Enforcement
In addition to current child support, DCS may enforce medical support requirements for an obligated parent to provide insurance available through the obligated parent's employer or union. Only a person receiving Medicaid can ask DCS to enforce medical support only. If you have medical coverage (not Medicaid) for the child, you may ask DCS to enforce only child support. Learn more about medical enforcement.
Paternity Establishment
DCS provides services to determine the father of a child. The child must be under the age of eighteen.
Read more about paternity establishment.
Payment Processing Services Only (PSO)
If your support order states that payments must be made to the Washington State Support Registry, DCS processes and disburses payments to the payee on the order. When payments are late or past due, DCS takes no enforcement action on your case. When you move, you must give the State Registry your new address.
Post-secondary Educational Support
DCS will provide services for children with court orders for post-secondary educational support. The student must be enrolled in an accredited academic or vocational school, be in a regular course of study, and be in good academic standing. DCS will enforce educational support only if payable to the parent or to the child.

The Early Naughty Years: Set 1 features all 11 uproarious episodes from 1969-1971, including the three rare installments filmed in black-and-white!
Irreverently and undeniably hysterical, The Benny Hill Show pioneered a naughty new direction for the sketch-variety show, one that pushed the envelope of television standards and inspired such contemporaries as Saturday Night Live and MADtv. Still considered a hoot and a half today, Benny Hill and his talented ensemble were unafraid to take a "tongue-in-cheeky" approach in satirizing society's taboos, from bawdy ballads and priceless pantomimes to dizzying double entendres and slaphappy head slapping.

71399 It is an event that changed the course of human history. Yet, beyond the familiar biblical accounts, shockingly little is known about the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. And many of the world's most distinguished biblical scholars insist that what the Bible has to say about the event cannot be correct.
THE TRIAL OF JESUS visits the Holy Land, pores through some of the oldest writings on earth and pieces together circumstantial evidence and tantalizing clues looking for a clearer picture of Christ's final days. Reconstructing the events surrounding His fate, this thought-provoking special challenges many of the best-known stories--both old and new--surrounding this pivotal moment.

HAHA I just realized that it actually matters who I pick first and second because of contracts.
The stupid auto select keeps taking players i want for depth lol.
Dang, I wanted Marc Jackson. I would have picked Ruben Patterson but I wanted an outside shooter in Croshere. My team is defense and offensively loaded.
"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
Trell, I think Glenn Robinson was taken at the end of the 2nd round
I wonder if he saw glen rice and thought It was Robinson...
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
Please don't say players names.
Expect a PM from me after the draft for Speedy Claxton, Bojangles. He was literally going to be my next pick lol
Hopefully bender to the pacers works out better off this time
Is there anyway we can have rookies with 4 year deals with options after year 2 and 3 or does the game not allow that?

so i meditate a lot, am very mindful and study the dhamma. things become wonderful, i see through reality bit by bit and make great progress. then one of two things happen (or both, i'm really not sure):
1. i feel so good i slack off in practice and therefore go back to largely fluctuating emotions and what not. "i'm nearly accomplished in the dhamma! i don't even need to meditate or chant my sutta and be super mindful today!"
2. i'm on some kind of cycle based on what chemicals my brain is producing. like i produce a ton of serotonin for three weeks then not near enough for two weeks and then a ton again and so on.
i'm thinking number one is more likely as my eating and sleeping habits vary greatly and the cycle is inconsistent. i tried tracking it but it doesn't follow a precise pattern. if it was related to brain chemicals then diet and sleeping habits would affect it directly. so i'm thinking it's just right effort slacking off. if i can do better on that step it should fix itself.

Tom Sharpe's Antarctic Diary
Sunday 4 December 2011
A bright, clear, sunny morning gave us our first good look at Macquarie Island, its straight steep eastern side plunging into the sea. On the shore we could see a beach packed with King penguins.
We had hoped to take the zodiacs out to cruise amongst the swimming Kings but a southerly wind was too strong and the swell too big for safety. But the Kings came to us instead. They are curious birds, and hundreds of them swam all around the ship.
Soon it was time to leave and we set off along the eastern side of Macquarie and out into the Southern Ocean. Once well out of sight of land, we were accompanied by several pairs of light-mantled sooty albatross which soared alongside our ship.
Below, skimming the waves, flashes of blue were Antarctic prions, while farther out, the huge white wingspan of a wandering albatross swept back and forth low above the water.
Monday 5 December 2011
It's going to take us two full days at sea to our next landfall, at Hobart in Tasmania, where my Antarctic journey will end. So all day today we've been rolling back and forth in the swell of the Tasman Sea and we've another day of it to go.
This is the time to look back on where we've been and what we've seen. A visit to Antarctica is always special, but this visit to the Ross Sea has been truly extraordinary. It's a difficult place to get to - we had to break our way through 900 miles of pack ice to reach 77o 50° South - and the landscape is like no other. It's one of those places where you find it hard to believe that you are really there.
It's been an amazing and moving experience to visit the century-old huts of the Scott and Shackleton expeditions, and one can only be in awe of their achievements, not just in their exploration of new lands but in the scientific work they did here, often in the severest conditions.
Having been to their expedition bases and to some of the sites they visited, I'm looking forward to re-reading the accounts of their expeditions, and especially that of Scott's last expedition, the centenary of which will be marked next year with a number of events in the UK.
I'm sure that much of what I've seen and experienced on this trip deep below the Antarctic Circle will enhance our forthcoming exhibition, Captain Scott:South for Science, and the activities we have planned around it. But for now, it's back to the rolling sea.
Tom Sharpe's Antarctic Diary
Sunday 27 November 2011
We've been slowly breaking through heavy pack ice as we travel around Ross Island to see the Ross Ice Shelf. But we've the view of the volcanoes of Ross Island, including Mount Erebus, which has made up for it.
We saw a rocky headland at the eastern end of Ross Island - Cape Crozier, the site of an Emperor penguin rookery, famous as the destination of The Worst Journey in the World. Edward Wilson, Birdie Bowers and Apsley Cherry-Garrard of Scott's last expedition sledged the 60 miles from the other side of the island in the intense cold and 24 hour darkness of the Antarctic winter to collect Emperor eggs, believing that these would shed light on the evolutionary relationships between reptiles and birds. The journey was an epic one, with temperatures down to -60oC. It was so cold, their teeth cracked. Their tent blew away and they nearly died. Cherry-Garrard's book is a classic of Antarctic exploration literature.
Passing Cape Crozier, ahead of us loomed the huge white cliff of the Great Ice Barrier, the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. Discovered by James Clark Ross in 1841, it is one of the great natural wonders of the world. A vertical wall of floating ice rising 30 metres above the surface of the sea (and about 270 metres below), the edge of the ice shelf extends for 600 km. The ice shelf itself is enormous - a mass if floating ice the size of France.
Strong winds were blowing off the top of the ice shelf today, carrying snow in great sweeps down the face of the ice cliff. James Clark Ross saw it as a formidable barrier to southward travel.
Thursday 1 December 2011
The Ross Ice Shelf is about as far south as you can take a ship on this planet, so from here the only way to go is north. Our original plan was to head towards the west coast of the Ross Sea for some landings on the mainland, but the sea ice is way too thick.
Down by the Ice Shelf, we were in a large area of open water, but the current in the Ross Sea carries the ice clockwise and it has piled up against the west coast. So instead we're heading out of the Ross Sea. We've spent three days breaking through the pack ice and broke into the open water of the Southern Ocean last night. It was foggy and snowing this morning. We're now about 570 miles from Macquarie Island and skirting the eastern side of a deep low pressure system. The waves in that low are about 8 metres high, but here they are only 5 metres or so. Around us, albatrosses wheel in the wind.
These days at sea are times for lectures and other activities. This morning I lectured on the links between Wales and Antarctica and the support Scott's expedition received from Cardiff and Wales. There was a lot of interest in our planned exhibition and a number of people have expressed an interest in coming to see it. Some are even thinking of coming from the US and combining visits to the exhibitions in London and Cardiff, which would be great.
Saturday 3 December 2011
We've not been on land since last Saturday. We spent three days breaking ice in the Ross Sea and another three in the rolling waters of the Southern Ocean.
It's not been quite as calm as it was on the way south. We've been rolling at about 30o and pitching as well, so we've had an uncomfortable time being thrown about. But now land is in sight. We're sailing along the coast of Macquarie Island. It's in the middle of nowhere, a sliver of land in the vast southern ocean.
It's a cold, grey, damp and foggy day. We landed near the northern end of the island at an Australian research station and staff there showed us around their facilities, which, being an Australian base, includes not only a bar, but a brewery. The station is surrounded by a sturdy fence to keep out the elephant seals, big, heavy, noisy, smelly animals that would flatten anything and everything. Outside the station, they are everywhere. The geology around here is fascinating. The island is a slice of ocean floor which has been uplifted along the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plates.
After lunch we landed at a bay on the island's east coast on a beach crowded with King penguins and the much smaller Royal penguins with their bright yellow crests. Walking through the surf along the shore, with penguins come in and out of the water around my feet was a special experience. A short walk north along the shore took us to a colony of King penguins where it was hard to believe that the comical, dumpy, brown, fluffy 'okum boys' which are the immature Kings would eventually turn into such beautiful adult birds. At the back of the beach, a penguin highway busy with Royals led uphill to a huge, noisy, densly packed throng of many thousands of the birds, some with tiny chicks at their feet.
Tom Sharpe's Antarctic Diary
Thursday 24 November 2011
This morning we landed by helicopter on the beach at Cape Bird on the northwestern side of Ross Island and hiked north to an Adelie penguin rookery, with perhaps 70,000 pairs of birds.
Much smaller than Emperors, these are feisty little beasts, the most southerly breeding penguin in the world. It's always entertaining to watch them carrying pebbles to add to their stone nests, squabbling with one another, and waddling back and forth across the ice to the water. On previous trips to Antarctica I've seen two Adelies go at one another with a scary degree of fury.
While we were watching the Adelies, it started to snow and we witnessed a real Antarctic scene as the black backs of the penguins turned grey and then white. The wind grew stronger and visibility dropped, so we had to abandon our landing and get everyone back to the ship.
Friday 25 November 2011
We're now the furthestmost south ship on earth, and have the weather to prove it. Our plans today were a visit to see the facilities at the large US McMurdo Station and New Zealand's Scott Base. Also here is the hut from Scott's first expedition in 1902. But the weather wasn't on our side. It's been blowing a blizzard all day (well it is summer here, after all) with the windchill temperature down to -40, the temperature at which the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales meet.
The ship is covered in snow, the wind plastering it to the superstructure. But during a brief lull in the storm this evening, we did get a view of a partial solar eclipse, which was a great bonus. We're staying here tomorrow to see if the weather improves enough to fly the helicopters.
Saturday 26 November
By this morning the blizzard had died down, but the wind was still too strong for the helicopters to fly. We waited all morning, then just as the ship was pulling away the wind dropped just enough. So it was a quick dash to get changed and grab a sandwich, then out to the helideck for a 20 minute flight south to the site of the hut from Captain Scott's first expedition.
The hut is situated at the end of a long peninsula at the southern end of Ross Island. It was convenient not only for Scott's Discovery expedition of 1902-04 but also for later Scott and Shackleton expeditions. The interior contains artefacts from all of these, most notably from the Ross Sea party of Shackleton's Imperial Transantarctic Expedition of 1914-16. Seals killed by Shackleton's men nearly 100 years ago lie on the verandah on top of sails from Scott's ship. Seal blubber inside still drips oil onto the floor. Their last meal can still be seen in the frying pan.
Next to the hut is the large US base of McMurdo Station. Looking like a frontier mining town, it's not the most attractive site in Antarctica, but it is an important staging post for the scientific field parties heading out on the ice. A short distance away is the New Zealand Scott Base which fulfills a similar role and also provides facilities for the Antarctic Heritage Trust who have been conserving the historic huts.
The view today was spectacular, across the fast ice to the high ice covered mountains of the Royal Society Range.
Tom Sharpe's Antarctic Diary
Tuesday 22 November 2011
Overnight we sailed across McMurdo Sound and pushed into the fast ice along the coast of the mainland. It was a beautiful day today, except where we wanted to be - in the mountains.
There, low cloud meant the helicopters couldn't fly. So instead we spent the morning walking on the ice around the ship. Our presence attracted the attention of a group of Emperor penguins who were just as interested in us as we were in them. They were definitely there to have their pictures taken! They leapt in and out of the water, waddled back and forth, stood, posed and almost smiled for our cameras.
By early afternoon the weather showed signs of improvement, so we flew across the fast ice and into the Taylor Valley, one of the Dry Valleys. These are remarkable features, the largest ice-free area in the continent. Taylor Valley was discovered by Scott on his first expedition while returning from a sledging trip to explore the Polar Plateau with Edgar Evans from Rhossili on Gower.
The Dry Valleys are a polar desert where the rocks are smoothed and sculpted by sand blown by katabatic winds which hurtle down from the Antarctic ice sheet at speeds of up to 200 mph. They attract a lot of scientific attention, especially from NASA, as this is probably the closest we have to a Martian landscape and climate. It was a real thrill to experience this incredible landscape.
The valley is strewn with moraines with huge variety of rock types. Two geologists from Scott's last expedition, Frank Debenham and Griffith Taylor, explored this valley and collected from these moraines. This gave them samples of rocks from deeper into the Transantarctic Mountains which they did not have time to explore.
Wednesday 23 November 2011
After a bright sunny night, we awoke to find ourselves back in the fast ice of Ross Island, this time offshore of Cape Evans. Visiting Shackleton's Hut was wonderful, the Dry Valleys exceptional, but today was very much the icing on the Ross Sea cake, and for most of us, the whole reason for this trip - a visit to Captain Scott's hut, the hut from which he left for the South Pole and to which he never returned.
Almost buried in snowdrifts, the hut has a powerful presence, seeped as it is in Antarctic history. Stepping through the door was a strange experience. In front of me was a large room that I knew well, but I was seeing it for the first time in colour. I know this hut from the famous photographs of Scott's expedition photographer, Herbert Ponting.
I was standing where he stood, at the end of the long table, when he took the picture of Scott's birthday. I stood between the sleeping bags of Teddy Evans and Edward Wilson, from where Ponting photographed Scott sitting at his desk. I saw the empty Tenements, the bunks of Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Birdie Bowers, and Captain Oates, and could visualise them there, as in Ponting's photograph. Above Oates' bunk - his pinups: pictures of horses and dogs. Atkinson's laboratory, his test tubes and equipment still on the bench; the Geologists' Cubicle, with rocks on the floor beneath Frank Debenham's bunk; Ponting's darkroom, still smelling of developer and fixer; the Stables where Oates cared for the ponies, and the stove he used to heat their chaff; Clissold the cook's galley with its stove, utensils, and canned foodstuffs; and, dividing the hut, a wall of crates of Coleman's mustard, Fry's chocolate and other supplies. All of these are still where Ponting photographed them a century ago.
Of course, a feeling of sadness and tragedy pervades this hut; it is almost tangible. Almost exactly 100 years ago, Scott, Oates, Bowers, Wilson and Edgar Evans left this building and set out for the South Pole and a frozen death.
Less well known is that this hut was used by Shackleton's Ross Sea Party who were laying the depots for his doomed crossing of the continent in 1916. Three of their number lost their lives on the ice near here. A forlorn, poignant pencilled scribble beside a bunk records "Loses to date Hayward, Mack, Smith". In their memory, their colleagues erected a wooden cross on Wind Vane Hill near the hut.
The setting of the hut was enhanced by some suitable weather today; kind enough at times to allow our helicopters in, but showing how quickly the weather can change here. Snow showers, fine spindrift, a driving wind and windchill of -10oC reminded us what conditions here can be like, even less than a month from midsummer.
