Mt. Erebus

  Me and Mt. Erebus

  The Radarsat dome, with Linnea, Jen, Erik, and Lou.  Note the little door on the left side of the dome, by which we entered it.

  The 10 meter antenna in the dome.  We watched it track the Quicksat satellite as it orbited overhead.

  The antenna tipping down, with Erik and Linnea.

  The tip of the antenna.

  The town of McMurdo, the biggest city in Antarctica.

  Observation Hill.  The cross at the top is a monument to Scott and his 4 companions who perished on their trip back from the South Pole only 10 miles from here.

  Closeup of the town, showing Crary Lab, our dorm, the bowling alley, coffee house, and galley.

  The ice runway under construction, with the Royal Society mountain range in the distance.
