Hiking Around
Photos of some splendid days.
Since getting bumped from the flight on Tuesday, I had the pleasure of getting out on a few hikes from McMurdo. The first was up Observation Hill (Ob Hill, for short), an impressive sharp mound overlooking McMurdo which is topped by a cross set up by Scott's men in honor of the perished.

[View of Erebus, zoomed in. The prominent rock outcrop in the middle is Castle Rock, the destination for the next day's hike.]
My friend Rich had Wednesday off, so we took the afternoon to hike to Castle Rock.
We lucked out.
The weather was perfect. Sunny, windless, warm.
