As you climb the hills around the valley you can see for miles back. You could see several mountain glaciers that seemed to pour out of the mountains down to the valley floor.

It was a beautiful sight, desolate but beautiful. On the flight back to McMurdo I fell asleep. That has got to be the first time that has happened to me since I got here. I can tell I am tiring when I get sleepy with such beautiful sights going on around me. When I got back here to McMurdo I had to head back into the lab.
