Return of the sun....

As the sun begins to return here at Mcmurdo station, we all know that our quiet world is coming to an end as we begin to prepare for winfly. The sky share it's beautiful colors and clouds (Nacerous) with us. Some people travel out to the pegasus airfield to get the full effects of the returning sun as well as to get away from town for a bit to break the monotony of being in town all winter.

These are a few pictures from Pegasus Airfield. Since there are no flights coming or leaving the station the airfield is somewhat barren except for the few heavy equipment workers who groom the airfield daily to keep it smooth and ready for the next flight that comes in september.
