Photo of McMurdo

 This is a picture of McMurdo. The hill in the left corner is called Ob Hill. Ob is short for Observation. The bright blue building is the Galley. The Galley is where we eat our meals and some even have dorm rooms there. My room is in Building 209. It is the last brown building in the row of brown buildings on the left center of the picture.

 The mountain in the background of this photo is Mt. Erebus. It is one of three active open lava lake volcanos in the world! Many vulcanologists like to study this area. It is about 80 miles away from McMurdo. The two women in the photo are working on the NPOESS project with me. They are satellite communication engineers.

 Here is a photo of the new ice pier on the left and the ice runway.

 Here is a photo of the main Antarctica continent. The white poles you see at the bottom of the photo are part of the Super Darn science project.

Here are the wind turbine generators at one of the hills.
