November 10 continued:

View from Plane
Landscape
Different view
More white

These next few pictures are taken from the window of the Terra Bus, my first views of Antarctica. This is part of the landing strip.

Some parts of the landscape are pretty flat and monotone. This picture is even using a contrast filter!

Compare this picture and the next one. Pretty much the only difference is use of a filter.

Landscape
McMurdo
Accomodations
My Window
More landscape.
A glimpse of McMurdo.

The accommodations of building 203b, room 18 (my room).

A peek out of my window on a sunny night.


November 10:

Safety lecture
C 141
Gwynne on Plane
 

At this point, we have all our ECW clothes on, but haven't gotten the safety lecture.

This is the C-141. Big!

Hello from the plane!

Bigger Picture on Plane
   
The plane is actually quite a bit bigger than this picture shows.

 

   

November 9:

Avon River
Bridge
Rose Garden
 

This is the Avon River which flows through Christchurch.

This is the bridge to the Botanical Garden. The Avon River encircles it.

This section is the rose garden. Christchurch is known as the most English city outside of England.

Duckling
ECW Gear
 
It's a little hard to see, but there's a duckling in the middle of this picture. Remember, it's spring here!

Here are the people scheduled to deploy at the same time as me. We are about to try on our ECW gear.

 

 

November 6:

Home Gwynne Car
 

The last picture of me before I started my travels. I am sitting with all my luggage.

Here I am newly arrived to the Auckland, New Zealand airport. I have been awake for many many hours at this point.

Do you notice anything unusual about this scene? The cars are driving on the wrong side of the road! Dangerous to cross the road if you are an inattentive American.
