As it turns out, there is some good riding to be had at
McMurdo. So my bro shipped my hardtail down here! |
An Antarctic Tradition for the winter-overs is for the various active stations to
send each other mid-winter cards on the solstice (June 21). Here are the cards that we received at McMurdo
this year from our neighbors. |
Some pictures from a week spent walking the McMurdo fuel pipelines to check for leaks during
this year's very unusual fuel ship offload. |
Insanity. Pictures of jumping into the Ross Sea, which sits at 28 degrees F. |
Some miscellaneous pictures I ran across from years past. Highlights are old pics from McMurdo
station, Byrd's wrecked Fokker, and the Snow Cruiser from 1939! |
Some pictures and movie files from the first day of direct sunlight: August 20. A momentous occasion! Mostly movie
files are here, since my camera was having major difficulties taking still pictures of outdoor scenery. |
