McMurdo Departure

I left McMurdo on Sunday after being delayed a couple of days due to a mechanical problem and a storm between New Zealand and Antarctica.
Looking back at McMurdo. You might be able to recognize Castle Rock.












The C-17 landing at Pegasus blue ice runway.













Our ride back.













Looking towards the cockpit.













The rear of the plane. Those pallets contain all of our luggage and were actually kept on the ramp for the flight.











This is looking out the window in the previous shot where the man is taking a photo.












We were allowed to briefly go into the cockpit and have a look around.
