Scenes from MacTown

This past week has brought a few new arrivals to MacTown. The Oden icebreaker ship from Sweden has been breaking up the ice from the sea edge to McMurdo for about two weeks now and clearing the path for the Oil Tanker that arrived on Saturday, bringing in fuel.








The weather has been great now for over a week which means that we have been making building 155 VERY blue! We finished the roof and are now making our way around the building. It's fun to see the progress on the walls and hear everyone's opinions of the blue. It is so very very very blue! I like it. I think its great and refreshing in this muddy town of brown.




Here are a few photos from around town, the helo pad, one of our fish huts being moved, putting away the asbestos equiptment for the last time adn of course a popcorn break at the VMF (mechanics shop where you find the best popcorn on station and a (hopefully) endless supply of fireballs.
