Early AM hike
I took this at about 1:30 am last night, the sun was great for once.
So im out at the runway (williams field). We had a pretty good storm blow in today so they evacuated "ice town" at about 9 am this morning. We have just been watching movies out here and waiting for the storm to blow over. Last night at about 1 am we heard there were about 30 penguins at hut point so 5 of us hiked out there to see what we could find. We counted 33 in all and 2 seals trying to get out of the ice next to them. It was really windy but the sun was awesome last night. It was almost like a hlaf sunset with the clouds so it was pretty cool. The above photo is a picture of Mt. discovery. Its across the mcmurdo sound from where we are. We also saw a glimpse of the 2 ice breakers slowly making there way up the sound. Right now the suond in front of Mcmurdo is still ice so they are breaking a channel to get the ships in here.
This is a picture of the cross at hut point.
