McMurdo Station

The town of McMurdo Antarctica, one of the largest bases in Antarctica. It is located on an island of volcanic rock, surrounded by sea ice (temporary and permanent). Temporary sea ice melts out each year, bringing with it sea life and a new season. The station has many buildings, quansut huts and science equipment for the study of science... the only reason why we are down there.... to study science. It is one of the most pristine places on earth, untouched by society (polution, etc). This makes Antarctica one of the premier places to study earth sciences.

SCOTTS HUT

Many remnants of Antarctic explorers are left on this island; they simply picked up and left when their rescue arrived. Shackleton's and Scott were two explorers who left buildings. Because the air is so dry and cold the huts and it's contents remain almost untouched, not much biodegraded.

Shackleton's Hut, from his adventure written in the book, "Endurance".

Scott's Hut -- Inside, bottles, cans, food, .... it's all there.
