Exhaust stacks are now penetrating silently into the ice above. They seemed to leave everything else behind. Furnaces were left running until the fuel simply ran out. When the electricity failed, lights went out and the station got cold. Library books can still be found in the library.
Food is still on the table in the galley.
Butter is just as fresh as the day it was left. The meat is red as if freshly cut. Cans of food and cases of hot dogs are lying about, along with empty Coke cans and wine bottles. Budweiser, Miller, Black Label and other assorted beer cans abound. Tons of parts, still useable and salvageable, lie in heaps.
