Arrival

(Click on any image to enlarge)


A C17 air force plane transported us for the 5 1/2 hour flight from Christchurch, New Zealand to McMurdo Station, Antarctica.




The intricate ceiling inside.


A view of the people and the cargo transported on our flight, taken from the upstairs 'cockpit bubble.'


My first view of the Antarctic continent.


All of the gear needed for our 5 months in Antarctica is issued at the division headquarters in Christchurch, NZ, including these cold-weather 'Bunny Boots.'


The almost surreal experience of touching foot in Antarctica.






The crowded Terrebus transport to McMurdo Station itself.


From the moment I arrived, I felt like I stepped back in time to a mining town back in the early 20th century.


My first experience of the cold winds that whip down the Antarctic Ice Shelf into McMurdo Station. They are enough to freeze your skin instantly, and penetrate any clothing that is not truly windproof.



Happy Halloween! Just one of the many parties held throughout the season.
