ANITA was cut down last night. It started heading South and the decision was made to terminate the flight before it went over rough terrain or went too far South. Now it's just a matter of scheduling our recovery flight.
Some Kiwi humor. A number of Kiwi's actually stay in McMurdo because we have a much greater capacity. We also provide all the logistical support for Scott Base. However, they are now starting work on the construction of three wind turbines to reduce the fuel consumption of our generator.
The American sign across the road from the Kiwi sign.
A different perspective of Scott Base. The Willy Field road is on the left, and it's about 5-6 miles as the bird flies from LDB to Scott Base. The pressure ridges and Willy Field/LDB can be seen.
Their emblem on the door of a Haglund. The New Zealanders have black and orange suits, with a patch version of this emblem on the back.
The main entrance.
One of their hallways. The buildings on the base are just about entirely connected by indoor corridors, which is nice.
There was no toothbrush.
The bar on American night.
The Travelodge on the road back, in case the 1.5 miles is too far to walk. Actually, I don't know what these buildings are for. There is regular shuttle service as Scott Base is on the road out to Willy Field and LDB, so I ride past it every day.
This was taken just before midnight, so you have an idea how low the sun gets.
