Freaky people make the beauty of the world
One of the more outrageous events of the season is Halloween Party. Everything that happens in McMurdo is made all the more novel by the fact that afterwards, you can say, "in Antarctica". For instance, "I saw a penguin, in Antarctica" or "I skied on the sea ice, in Antarctica". The novelty of the settings adds excitement and novelty to everything that happens on the ice.
The annual Halloween party is no exception. The outrageous costumes, the fervent dance party, and the intensive drinking, framed to the background of a quonset in Antarctica. The absurdity of the contrast, the beauty of an invigorated and creative community thriving in the driest, coldest, most desolate place on Earth.
Its an expression of humanity, its an expression of beauty, where you would least expect it.

This buildnig is a quonset hut - a half-cylinder tin building
Ben - McMurdo's DJ
I've learned a valuable lesson on the ice: No party is complete without a robot
This costume beat me out for 'most creative'
Can you guess what I am?
