MCMURDO STATION, ANTARCTICA: The skiway is only active in the spring while the ice on McMurdo Sound is thick enough to support the weight of the aircraft and support equipment. In the summer they'll move to another air strip.
Sunset or sunrise, The Fin is impressive. Amazingly, it just happened it was the time of year when the sun rose between a gap on Glacier Ridge to the east and acted as a spotlight to illuminate just The Fin.
The sun really did roll down the back side of The Fin.
