Carved into the walls of the tunnels are niches that contain artworks created by winterovers. My favorite one is Buzz Aldrin's Tissue. Buzz came to the South Pole but had a difficult time with the altitude and had to be medivaced back to McMurdo. Apparently he sneezed into a tissue while here, which was reverently saved, and is now the centerpiece of the Buzz Aldrin Tissue shrine.
