  • A Hut, also known at the TAE (Trans-Antarctic Expedition) Hut, is located on Pram Point at New Zealand’s Scott Base. It was the first station building built in 1957 at Scott Base, established to support the TAE, and the IGY (International Geophysical Year) of 1957/1958. It was originally intended as a short term base, after which it was to be dismantled, but as the scientific potential of Antarctica was realized the Government decided to continue with Antarctic research indefinitely.

  • Sir Edmund Hillary was part of the team that built the hut, and was one of two leaders on the TAE expedition. I was fortunate to get permission from the New Zealand government to photograph Hut A on the day before I left Antarctica. The folks at Scott Base were very helpful in showing me around and letting me do my photography work.

  • The longest continuously running experiment here at McMurdo is the Cosmic Ray Observatory, or Cos-Ray, which has been studying low-energy cosmic rays since 1960.  It detects secondary sub-atomic neutral particles, neutrons, produced when the original cosmic ray hits the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s one of a dozen sites around the world, part of the neutron monitoring network called Spaceship Earth.

  • Antarctic Meteor Radar array (2019) located between McMurdo Station and Scott Base, Antarctica, on the site of the now removed CosRay building, the experiment moved to the Korean Station. The radar senses meteors over a 250 kilometer radius from the array, with an average height of about 90 kilometers, and counts approximately 2000 meteors per day.
