McMurdo Station is located on Ross Island and this is a photo from our bedroom window overlooking the frozen Ross Sea. That's not a snow field but actually the frozen ocean. We are across from the the Royal Society Mountain Range and the glacier in this picture is Blue Glacier.
Down at Scott's Hut a half mile from McMurdo lies a dead Weddell Seal. This seal is 100 years old and was killed by Scott's men for food and fuel. It still sits outside of the door of his hut.
Here are some pictures of Weddell Seals that we saw at Hut Point near Scott's Hut. Often we can see seals laying on the ice from our bedroom window. But they kind of look like turds on the ice from that far away....
