Weather
I know Mrs. Radner's class has been following the weather, but for anyone else who is interested here is a link to one of the weather stations here at McMurdo.
Flight to McMurdo
I finally got on board the plane to McMurdo on Wednesday evening and we landed at Williams Airfield early Thursday morning. Our flight was on a C17 military cargo plane. We landed on a runway that is on sea ice! We then got a ride in Ivan The Terra Bus to McMurdo Station.

Dear Eric:
Today our class located McMurdo Station on the world map using latitude and longitude: 77 degrees South, 166 degrees East. Now we understand why you flew to New Zealand instead of flying to Chile to reach Antarctica. It was fun using latitude and longitude for real!
