McMurdo Pictures

We arrived at the passenger terminal at 4:45 a.m., but didn't actually get on the plane until around 9 a.m.

Getting on the C-141 bound for Antarctica.

This plane has been to the ice a few times before.

Not very much legroom on a military cargo plane.

On my way to Antarctica!

We made it! This is the first picture I took of the White Continent.

Me on the Ice. You can barely see McMurdo Station in the background.

Ivan: Our transportation from the ice runway to McMurdo.

McMurdo Station buildings with Observation Hill towering behind

Me and the Robert Falcon Scott Memorial erected in 1912.

There is a great view of McMurdo Station from the top of Ob Hill.

Stopped for a photo op on the way back down.

Just after midnight, I caught one of the season's last pseudo-sunsets as the sun went behind a mountain.
