  Lou, Linnea, and me in the back of the Hägglunds.

  Lars in the back of the Hägglunds.  That is indeed ice on the wall behind him inside the vehicle.

  The best view of Cape Evans I got on the way home.  On the far right is Scott's hut, where they wintered before attempting to reach the Pole. The orange hut is used for diving.

  The ice road back to McMurdo.

  McMurdo and Ob Hill as we drive back.

  McMurdo, with the orographic lenticular cloud in the lee of Mt. Erebus.  See the Erebus page for more pictures of Mt. Erebus and the cloud.  The golf ball antenna on the left is where I got my first good views of Erebus.
