McMurdo Station in Antarctica functions as a city of 1.200 people at -50°C, with a desalination plant producing 170,000 liters of water per day, fire department, telephone exchange, FM radio, and even two ATMs operating 24 hours a day in the most isolated place on Earth, where planes only land for four months a year. In Antarctica, McMurdo Station houses up to 1.200 people at -50°C, with desalination, FM radio, fire brigades, and even ATMs in the most isolated place on Earth.

In this #GeoLog, Julia Martin takes us on a trip to #McMurdo Sound - a dream that became a reality as she reports!

Julia and her team spent four weeks camping on the sea ice to investigate the physical properties of the #snow and to understand the sea ice energy balance.
