Ob Hill
McMurdo Station, seen from Ob Hill |
The icebreaker Polar Star arrived in McMurdo Sound yesterday and is working to break a channel in the ice so supply ships can get through and re-stock the station. |
Mt. Erebus |
Those green buildings below are Scott Base, New Zealand's Antarctic research station, located just 3 km from McMurdo |
This cross atop Ob Hill honors Robert Falcon Scott and his team, all of whom perished after being the second team ever to reach the South Pole (the first was lead by Roald Amundsen) |
