January
January is the warmest time of the year here, most days will peak above freezing in temperature, then drop a few degrees below at "Night" when the sun is lower in the sky.

As well as looking after the airfield electronics, we also look after the remote weather stations.
To get to this one involved riding snow mobiles out across the ice shelf to the middle of nowhere
for 2 hours to reach it.

Ice crystals forming on the shore of Ross Island from the changing tides.

Water run-off from the melting snow from the hills around McMurdo cause running streams for a
few weeks in the peak of summer.
