![a vast wasteland? a vast wasteland?](aerial032.jpg) This is an overall aerial photograph of the station looking southeast, the dark sector is in the foreground, the station complex old and new is across the skiway, and the RF building and MARISAT dish is at far right. Here's a larger uncropped version. |
![looking back at you looking back at you](mainstation2.jpg) A closer view of the station complex, with the summer camp and berms to the right. |
![close to dome home close to dome home](stationcloseup2.jpg) Side by side--the new Station building, the arches housing fuel storage and the power plant, and the geodesic dome that houses the old station. |
![looking back at you looking back at you](darksector2.jpg) The dark sector complex...From top to bottom: the Australian AASTO; AST/RO building; DASI telescope (left), MAPO, and Viper (right, all connected); the still-unfinished Dark Sector Laboratory now sporting new blue and the penthouse. |
![runway in sight runway in sight](wholestation2.jpg) A couple from the common drive...this one gives an excellent view of the skiway and taxiway ares. |
![are we done yet are we done yet](above2.jpg) This view of the new station and construction area was taken a day later, on 10 February. |
![coming around again coming around again](backaerial2.jpg) I'll finish up this page with a midseason aerial view from Carlton Walker from the clean air side... |
