  • How to describe McMurdo Station. It’s the largest station in Antarctica by far, a sprawling place, functional and utilitarian, a work in progress since its beginnings before the 1957-1958 IGY. And it has character. As a photographer I'm drawn to the older structures, the early buildings housing Cosray and building 137, the quonset huts, and others like the BFC, FEMC shops and Paint Barn. These places have character, part of it is architectural, and part is how these utilitarian shells have been adapted into unique living and work spaces by the people who use them.

  • McMurdo Station from T Site. A permit or escort only area because of the sensitive communications equipment up here. That speck in the air is an LC-130 heading for Christchurch, NZ.

  • Looking across 20 miles of the Ross Ice Shelf at Ross Island, the summit of Mount Erebus volcano is 45 miles away. The dark area below Erebus is the Hut Point Peninsula where McMurdo Station is located at the end of the peninsula. Observation Hill can be made out on the right side of the peninsula, Arrival Heights on the left side, and Castle Rock is above and behind McMurdo. On the ice shelf below Hut Point you can see Pegasus Airfield, and several active science project locations.

  • Sand blown down Taylor Valley ends up on the sea ice. The snow figures on Mt. Coleman are know locally as "two peeing men". A comforting landmark I can see from Observation Hill 50 miles away at McMurdo Station.
