| The C130 from Pole was nearly empty... |
|
| On the flight deck... |
|
|
| Views of the scenery from the flight deck... |
|
|
| More scenery... |
|
|
| Still more scenery... |

| Views on the other side of the hill: Scott Base and White Island |
|
|
| Just in case you forget where you are |
|
| A tanker was in town |
|
| ...and two icebreakers cruising around |
|
|
| McMurdo even gets halos sometimes: a faint arc around the horizon |
|
|
| Temperature inversions creating mirages (upward reflections of
the mountains) |
|
|
| In the distance, seals |
|
| A distant Herc about to land at Willy Field |
|
| Some cravassey scenery |
|
| In the distance, huge icebergs in open water |
|
|
| Mount Erebus |
|
| Icebreaker in port |
|
| The sea ice broken up by the icebreaker... open water |
|
| The trip back to pole... White and Black Island from the
flight deck |
|

| Distant mountains from the flight deck
(poking up through the blanket of clouds) |
