Just a quick video shot from my dorm looking out during the Condition 1 weather. There is no movement allowed outside during this time unless approved by the NSF Station Manager.
McMurdo Condition 2 Weather
My walk to work today.
Video once it was a bit brighter out. Shortly after lunch.
First Sun Sighting
A few people have seen the sun before me but this was the first time I have seen the sun since it went down last time.
I only had my point and shoot camera today. I’ll try to get some better photos tomorrow with my main camera.
New record low windchill for me
We had a bit of cold weather blow through today.
Winter 2018 comes to an end
And this plane means Winter has come to an end in McMurdo. WinFly has begun and Summer is just a few weeks away. 1 plane down 3 more to go this week including a C-17 later today.
McMurdo Polar Stratospheric Clouds
Aurora Time Lapse 2
Another Aurora Time Lapse. This was was much better than the first with way better auroras.
Half Way Done
Today marks a good day for me. I am 50% of the way through my current deployment. About 2 months till I go to the South Pole.
183 days done.
183 days to go.
Aurora Time Lapse
It’s nice when you are doing a Milky Way Time Lapse and you get interrupted by Auroras. A couple of time lapses put together that were shot last night in McMurdo.
