  • Packed and ready to go to Scott Base. Look at all the gear I need to take!

  • Outside Antarctica NZ customs entrance

  • On board the C17

  • a very noisy 5 hour flight

  • First site of the Big Ice.

  • Cracks in the Ross Sea ice. Why do you think the sea ice is breaking up?

  • The C17 has landed!! How can that heavy plane sit on 2m of frozen ice and not sink?

  • massive aircraft on 2m of sea ice (photo Luca Chiaroni)

  • Mt Erubus. Do you see it smoking?

  • McMurdo base, the American science research station. Sometimes 1000 people stay here.

  • I'm really here, sunny and minus20oC

  • Can you see how far it is from Scott Base to the South Pole? How far would it be from SB to Dunedin?
