Yummy

I nabbed these off our shared network drive - hotdog!

Hut Point

Mt. Discovery - an inactive volcano, part of the Antarctic Mountain Chain

Ice Runway with the Royal Society Mountain Range in the background. The Ice Runway, located directly in front of McMurdo on the annual ice shelf, serves as the sole airstrip for the first half of the Summer season. As the ice thins, the airstrip closes, and LC-130's (Hercs), Baslers, and the twin otters are diverted to Williams Field and C-17's land at Pegasus Airfeld, both located on the permanent Ross Ice Shelf. Currently, the icebreaker Oden is cutting a supply channel through the annual ice shelf in the exact same spot I landed three months ago.
