Winter In Antarctica, 1997

Welcome to Antarctica and my winter-over web page. I am Josh McCoy and I have been living and working at McMurdo Station, Antarctica since October 8th, 1996. I will continue working in the Crary Science and Engineering Center until mid-October 1997. The primary purpose of this web page is to allow anyone an opportunity to follow my journey through an Antarctic winter on-line. I'll be updating my on-line journal with digital pictures and text, hopefully accurately depicting the nature of human life in one of the most extreme environments on earth. In addition to working in the Crary Lab, I'll also be a DJ on FM 104.5, feel free to tune-in to my radio show every Tuesday from 8PM to 10PM. I'll also be working in the lush McMurdo Greenhouse.

On March 7, 1997 the final flight of the season left McMurdo and Antarctica. Some of the places I visited this season include the South Pole and Lake Bonney. During the summer season, McMurdo was occasionally visited by tourist vessels such as the Kapitan Klebnikov.
