Cape Evan's

I took a trip out to Cape Evan's yesterday. Cape Evan's, located on the shores of Ross Island, north of McMurdo (which lies on the southern tip of the island) is named such after the first mate on Scott's expedition. An historic hut is situated here, and when you enter, it is as if you walked 90 years into the past. Due to low temps and low humidity, the hut is perfectly preserved: dead penguins, seal blubber, Heinz ketchup and all.

Icebergs float into the Ross Sea in summer and get frozen into the ice shelf in winter.

This is me below Mt. Erebus, the geologic structure that defines and towers over Ross Island

This is a Delta, our means of transportation over the sea ice.
