Vehicles

Here are some of the transport vehicles around McMurdo and the balloon facility

The Delta(really slow)














The Airporter













The Terrabus (painfully slow)













A van (at the balloon base). In the background is Willy Field, the airfield where most of the flights to other bases in Antarctica are based out of. All the planes have skis attached to the landing gear. C-130's, Twin Otters, and DC-3's. When I first flew into Antarctica, I landed at a different airfield on a C-17













A pickup














The Boss(only used to hold the gondola during launch).













And here is the gondola as it was when I went in to work this morning
