Today was a condition 2 day for Willy Field and condition 3 for McMurdo. The shuttle in to Willy Field was delayed and only for key project personal. Bob and Rene bravely went out to the lab and Eun and I stayed back in McMurdo. While I am stuck here, I thought I would take some pictures of some of the buildings and their insides to give everyone some idea of what it's like living at McMurdo, Antarctica.

This shows how much they're into recycling. Everyone of these bins is for a different item, such as aluminum cans, light metals, heavy metals, burnables, food waste, construction debry, plastics, dorm products, and glass to name a few. Everything must be sorted. You will all learn about this when you arrive. You are required to take a waste management course when you get here.

Just a condition 3 day at McMurdo. The McMurdo galley is the building on the far left.

Some pictures of the inside McMurdo galley. It was just renovated this past winter.

Picture of a poster hanging in the galley. If you can't read it, it's for the science lecture this Sunday night at 8:15, given by Steve Peterzen, Greg Guzik, and Steven Meyer.

McMurdo weight room. There is also a gym where you can play basketball and volleyball.

Chapel of the Snows.

McMurdo coffee house. They serve coffee, wine, and have a really good cheese and crackers board. No beer here though!

Gwynne working on her journal over in the second floor Crary computer room, also the library.

This is the second floor of Crary Lab, were the waste management, outdoor saftey, and driving lectures take place. The waste management class is mandatory. The other two are your choice, but you must complete them if you wish to drive or go off base on any hikes.
