  • The telephone booth, actually an old dynamite shack used when dive holes were blasted through the sea ice at New Harbor. Now all holes are melted with a heater and kept open with chain saws and a lot of back work.

    029_DSC09006.jpg
  • That's my cot in the aisle, kind of in everyone's way, but I'll take it over tenting outside (which I did plenty of later in the trip).

  • Scallop shells that have precipitated up through the sea ice are found by the thousands along the shore of New Harbor in this area.
    035_DSC08783.jpg

    036_DSC08798.jpg
  • Weddell Seal bone structure of the flipper.
    039_DSC09220.jpg

  • Divers preparing to dive in Explorers Cove with strong Fata Morgana mirage (the long horizontal band just above horizon) in background
    002_DSC08482.jpg
  • A 10 pm stroll that turned into a  hike. As always in the clear air and barren landscapes of Antarctica, things are much further away than they look. This hill I climbed looked like a short 10 minute walk, and turned into an hour long climb.
    020_DSC08639-2.jpg
  • The moat allowed us to ride snow mobiles all the way from Explorers Cove and get fairly close to the Ferrar Glacier.
    001_DSC09119.jpg
  • Herbertson Glacier detail
    002_DSC09134.jpg
  • Dive site with Mount Erebus Volcano in background. Notice the extremly rough condition of the years old sea ice
    003_DSC08487.jpg
  • New Harbor camp Jamesway Huts adapted from Korean war Jamesways, now serving as camp shelter. The camp has been at this location since 1987.

  • Henry Kaiser, Mike Koonce and Paul Cziko clearing a dive hole in preparation for a dive
    004_DSC08604.jpg
  • Mike Koonce surfacing from a dive with Paul Cziko dive tending at the heart shaped dive hole. I could clearly hear the Weddell Seal's eerie whistling call through the ice at this dive site. According to the divers, the physical discomfort of diving in water that is at freezing temperatures is balanced by the beauty of the under ice environment.

  • Early morning at camp.
    025_DSC08944.jpg

  • Yours truly (Shaun O'Boyle) on the sea ice on route toward the Ferrar Glacier. Yes, we drove over that surface on snow mobiles, somehow weaving a path through.
    030_DSC09029.jpg
  • Pressure ridges and Ferrar Glacier in distance. During the Discovery Expedition in 1903 this is the glacier Captain Scott, Evans and Lashley journeyed up to the Polar Plateau during the western journey.

  • Marble Point station facilities, which are now used primarily as a refueling station for helicopters operating in the McMurdo Dry Valley region. The station is dwarfed by the massive Wilson Piedmont Glacier.
    003_DSC00880.jpg
  • Scientist working on the LTER (Long Term Ecological Research) project on Lake Bonney preparing a robot that samples the lake water column throughout the year. The original objectives of the McMurdo LTER were to understand the influence of physical and biological constraints on the structure and function of dry valley ecosystems and to understand the modifying effects of material transport on these ecosystems. Now in the third funding cycle, they are poised to answer more complex questions about biodiversity, the impact of climatic legacies, and ecosystem structure and function.
