This is McMurdo station as it would have looked from a helo in the 60's. The helo pad was on the lower right...buildings consisted of barracks, chapel, living quarters, shops, chow hall, and a separate building where men were allowed to take showers once every 10 days. they had to melt snow to make their water....

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
