2006-07 Aerial Photos--Early Season

These photos were taken on Saturday 21 October from the Kenn Borek Twin Otter that was stuck at Pole awaiting better weather up north in Mactown...while the Polies were waiting for temps to warm up from -77°F/-60°C so that the 130's could come in. Look at that big drift in front of the station!

The same vantage point, up high, with a view of summer camp and the berms behind the station.

From another angle, up high above the dark sector.

And a bit closer.

From a higher angle, the rooftops are visible.

Photographer Robert Schwarz requested a pass over the dome, and here is the result.

This view shows skylab as well as some of those triwalls of winter trash and garbage.

A view of the front side of the domed station, the ceremonial pole, and someone headed west...

Around on the south side, here are the berms...at lower left are all of the IceCube modules which soon will be towed across the skiway to the drill site.

Just to the right of the last picture, here's a closeup of the back of new cryo...fully assembled and scheduled for occupancy this summer.

Looking the other way, this view shows the empty taxiway, ready for the Hercs.
