Ob Hill at the bottom
The sun is beginning to set.
McMurdo...isn't it beautiful.
The Ice Runway...as in 900 feet of ocean between me and that other island.

The Last Sunset...
Last night I decided to take the once in a lifetime hike up to the top of Ob (observatory) Hill at 1am to see the last sunset in Antarctica for 4 months. It was an awesome experience leaving town at 12am and hiking up in broad daylight and -5 degrees to see the sun dip below the horizon only for it to come back up 45 min later. Here are a few pictures from that hike.
