It was beautiful. The landscape looks a lot like the moon or maybe Mars. There is no snow on the ground, just rocks and dirt. The hills rise up on both sides of the valley, and there are some glaciers reaching down towards the valley floor. There is also a small river that bring the the water from the melting glaciers to Lake Vanda.
Lake Vanda is below sea-level so the water runs into the lake instead of to the ocean.
We took lots of pictures and then cam back to McMurdo. I am hoping to be leaving in a week, and I should be back in Wisconsin by the 4th of Febuary. I can't wait to see my wife and daughter. I hope that the cold weather has warmed up somewhat as well. If you have any comments about my homepage, please mail them to me.
