You all know that Susan and I have spent time in Antarctic, specifically at McMurdo Station. I have been going through some of our photo and found these and thought I would add them to this blog. Both of the pic's were taken during our last season on the ice which was from Aug 05-Feb 06. These pic's your taken during January time frame. The first one with the cross was taken off of Hut Point Peninsula which is just across Winter Quarter Bay. The cross was put there as memorial for a sailor that went through the ice as he was moving supplies around with his bulldozer in 1956. The same Sailor has a airfield named for him down there Williams Field .
The second pic was taken near Scott Base. As you look at it you can see Mt Erebus in the back ground. It is a active volcano on Ross Island. I hope you check on out a few of the links on this post and learn alittle bit about the place that Susan and I met. Susan and I have a ton of Pic's from different seasons and of different things at McMurdo and other places we have seen. If we get any comments about seeing some of these other photo's we will post them on here with a few comments.
