McMurdo Station Webcam
McMurdo Station (77°51'S, 166°40'E), the main U.S. station in
Antarctica, is a coastal station on the volcanic hills at the
southern tip of Ross Island, about 3,864 km (2,415 miles) south of
Christchurch, New Zealand, and 1,360 km (850 miles)
north of the South Pole. The original station was built in 1955 to 1956
for the International Geophysical Year. Today's
station is the primary logistics facility for supply of inland stations
and remote field camps, and is also the waste management
center for much of the U.S. Antarctic Program. Year-round and summer
science projects are supported at McMurdo.
