The old delta transport vans, still hauling people back and forth from the airport on the ice shelf to town (on land).
A lot more bikes than 10 years ago.
McMurdo galley.
McMurdo five person rooms.

Scotts old hut, still standing.
Scotts hut and Observation hill
Leopard seal teeth!
Waiting for planes to get fixed!
Riding the magic carpet.

Tanker in docking in the harbor.

The McMurdo Library is a cozy place.
