At NEEM we're 77 degrees latitude north of the equator and nearly 2,500 meters above sea level, all of it accumulated snow and ice - some 130,000 years worth, which is what the scientists at NEEM eventually hope to drill through. The polar horizon stretches to all sides without landmarks, save for the black and red flags that mark the boundaries of the camp, the red sleeping tents and the heated main dome, a geodesic wooden structure that is the kitchen, conference center and overall heart of NEEM.

For his part, McKinnon admits to being a regular cyber-intruder, but has claimed he was searching for some trace of an alien energy technology he believed the U.S. government had discovered and reverse-engineered but was keeping secret in order to keep oil prices high. He also...
