Welcome back my friends.....

Hello again everyone, Sorry i've been gone for so long. I'm back on the ice and here we go again with another season of fun pictures, facts and videos straight from Mcmurdo Station Antarctica. These are just some of the pictures from the last flight out of town. The station is now closed for the winter season, but since we are having an extended season There will be yet another flight in April. The pictures here are of people getting on the C-17 AirForce plane as well as people gathering at the Chalet to watch as the last flight fly over the town. The helicopter in the picture was just taking off to drop off some supplies to one of the many field camps that will be kept open this extended season for scientists to do some extra research until the Station officially close in April.

The Plane has landed....

These are some picutres of the first flight of winfly as it landed. This means that new people are coming in and we are soon on our way out.

You know win-fly is almost here when....

These are some pictures of the runway lights. For those of us lucky to leave here in less than a week, seeing those lights definately put a smile on our faces. Those lights mean that the ice runway is almost ready and the planes will be arriving here soon. On those planes will be fresh fruits and some vegetables that we have not had for about 4 months, as well as some fresh new faces and friends that we have not seen since the station closed in late february.

Some really cold temperatures...

This is the weather forecast for today, needless to say today is going to be a cold and windy day as will tomorrow.

Beautiful Skies...

A few beautiful photos of some colorful skies as the sun begin to return to our small little world here in Mcmurdo Station, Antarctica.
