Wine bar and coffee house? Things have sure changed since 1979.

where were you guys when outpost 31 was attacked?! THE THING ESCAPED!

I was stationed at McMud in 1971-1972. Then at Willy field for 72-73 summer support. We used to have the Crash and Burn society at Club Erabus. What happened to the movie house? What about the Nuke plant? Is Willy field still there?

@runningandracing1 They were loading out the last of the contaminated gravel in 79. The reactor leaked.

Blue building is no more unfortunately. Structurally damaged so it's closed now. No more bowling...

@york2600 someone else posted a video working out with weights in the gym? has it been fixed?

[york2600]

@papajohn5656 I believe the plan was the move weight equipment into building 155, but when I was there people were doing all their workouts in the second gym

That brings back some memories. I was there from 1980-1984. Those big barracks wern't there then, nor was bldg. 155 enlarged like that either. The old Acey Ducey club. Got drunk as a skunk there on my 22th birthday. Oct. 14, 1982. Lots of fun.

It looks very civilized nowadays. The internet would make it a little easier to take.

He's voice sounds a little guessing. He is adjusting to the boredom and isolation of McMurdo. I can relate to him, because I have to be studying in Rovaniemi. Ugh, I wish got to go to southern Europe.

So what do you think about the New Zealand Ross Island dependencies claim of the land the Americans are sitting on?

[stevo652006]

It was also known as the acey ducey when i was there. i did 2 tours 89-90 90-91. I was attatched to VXE-6 Naval Support aka Antarctic Devron Six.

Did you have the strangest dreams your first week down on the ICE....LOL

I suddenly had a random interest in living conditions in antarctica. So I found this video. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.
