A Tour of the McMurdo Station at Antarctica

By Rocky Thompson on November 23rd, 2011

Take a tour of the McMurdo Station on the coast of Antarctica. I’ve met several people who have taken seasonal jobs running the station and helping out the scientists who conduct research there. My friend Travis, who’s a genius with anything electrical, described the trip down by saying everything was exposed in the plane and he didn’t recognize any of the systems. It doesn’t look like the ride ever gets much more comfortable once you get off the plane. Remember not to walk too far from the buildings when it’s snowing out. I’d like to see how the place looks over our summer when it’s night and frigid the entire time. It looks like these guys manage to find time to screw around plenty.
