PART OF THE RAPIDLY-CHANGING McMURDO STATION, on Ross Island, where the United States Navy’s seabees have built the Antarctic’s first all-weather road, running from Scott’s Hut, at the left, round Winter Quarters Bay, and over the hill behind the camp. The four ships, from left, are the New Zealand supply ship Endeavour, the ice-breaker Glacier, the supply ship Private John R. Towle, and the ice-breaker Eastwind. They are tied up in the same bay where Captain Scott’s ship the Discovery was iced in for a winter during the 1901-04 expedition. It is rare at this time of year for the bay to be completely clear of ice.. —United States Navy photograph.
