Then off to Lake Bonney, one of my favorite places in the world. Five years ago I was here for two weeks with a microbiologist. Just the two of us were here and when she would do her science after we'd collected samples, I'd go exploring. Needless to say, it was great to be back and see all the wonderful sights.

Up above the camp are beautiful wind-sculpted rocks known as ventifacts. There are endless shapes to be seen. And over the years I've seen eagles, salmon, mosters and more. It feels very much like Mars.

And then back to McMurdo.

Nice pics Ben. Bringing back lots of fond memories. If you get a chance to go to Mt. Newall or Lake Vanda make sure you sit on the left side of the helicopter. The wall of ventifacts up there is unreal!
