Most of our working hours will be divided between our laboratory (below) and a Field Staging Area (above), which is an indoor utility room with loading dock access. These rooms are part of Crary Science, an unusual building on a steep hillside. Three long, parallel structures run level along the hillside, while a hallway-like staircase and ramp connect the three buildings at their center.
Through the windows in the lab, we have a great view of the Transantarctic Mountains, the resident seals lounging on the sea ice, and some of the ubiquitous industrial architecture of McMurdo.
