Abstract
For US citizens, the journey to McMurdo Station, Antarctica begins not at a major airport but in Washington, D.C., home of the National Science Foundation. More specifically, our project began with a proposal to the NSF, which gave grants to roughly 500 proposals in 2016. Only four of those were granted to the Artists and Writers Program.
