Back to MAC town (McMurdo)

Well I am back in McMurdo now. I have been here for a week now. The South Pole was absolutely amazing. The vast platou, where all you can see is white for miles and miles, is definately a site to see. I can not tell you how beautiful it was there. I got to stay an extra day, because the weather back in McMurdo was bad, they couldnt fly to come pick us up. While I was there I had the opportunity to explore some of the underground tunnels that surround the station, I got to decorate Christmas cookies, and help make the Christmas pies. This was an awesome time. I took a few pictures while I was there, some of me at the Geographical and Ceremonial South Poles. These are 2 different poles. The Geographical South Pole moves slighly everyday. They move the pole once a year, January 1st, this year the Geographic pole is within 50 feet of the ceremonial pole.

While there I walked around the world, this was cool to do. Someone asked me if I was standing at the South Pole what was due North of me. Well the answer to that question... EVERYTHING if I were to walk straight up, I would get to go anywhere in the World. The South Pole is located at 90 degrees South Latitude.
