I went for a little hike up the hut point ridge trail this afternoon and got some nice views and a good bit of wind... Actually, make that a LOT of wind... like windiest it's been since I've come here.

All of these shots are looking to the west across the sea ice towards the Royal Society Range. Hopefully in about 2 months all of this ice will be broken up and blowing out to sea. It hasn't happened in seven years, but since the B-15 iceberg finally broke apart and moved out of the way there's a good chance the ice will go out. And when the ice goes out, that means whales in the bay, seals on the shore and curious penguins wandering the streets of McMurdo!
