Weather

My good friend Mop suggested I take a photo in the same place every day so I can have a time-lapse story of my adventure down here. While I haven't been taking a picture every day, I take them in the same spots as often as I can, and the results thus far are positively amazing:





The first photo is an example of Condition 3 weather, the second photo is an example of Condition 2 weather, and I have yet to experience Condition 1, but the photo would be absolutely white.

Below is the official weather related travel restrictions:

Weather Condition 3: Travel is unrestricted within McMurdo complex. Foot travel outside of the McMurdo complex is unrestricted.

Weather Condition 2: Foot travel is restricted to the McMurdo complex. It is recommended that foot travel be conducted in pairs whenever possible or practical. Recreational travel to the extremities of the McMurdo complex (Hut Point, the Pass, the old Water Plant etc.) is prohibited. Travel outside the McMurdo complex is limited to work related vehicular travel.

These are more examples of the view outside my dormitory window at the end of the hall...it helps to view them side by side, but the best I can do in blogger is up and down. A nice comparison though.
