  • 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.

  • View out my dorm window, Building 203A, Room 213. I could always tell how bad the wind chill was going to be by watching how hard that little flag was flapping in the wind. It was usually flapping hard.

  • 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.

  • I spent three nights at the New Harbor camp, courtesy a generous invite from Sam Bowser, principle investigator of project B-043-M. A description of Sam's project from the NSF website: This project investigates the evolution, genome structure, and associated biomes of foraminiferan protists (forams)... Researchers will dive under the sea ice at Explorers Cove, Cape Bernacchi, and McMurdo Station to collect forams and sediment cores.
