As part of the Christmas days off, the foodies opened McMurdo’s giant fridge/freezer building for a tour. They have a standing offer of free 5lb bags of alfredo sauce; apparently they have far too much.
I also have a small selection of photos of the Christmas festivities. Hopefully Tristan can supplement these.
We’re currently in the middle of launch operations. Soon we will be waiting for the winds to come down, and if they do we might have ourselves a launch!

McMurdo Fridge
Each aisle was formerly filled with crates down the middle

Empty aisle
Still lots of shelves full of food

When there, we embellished further with wigs, necklaces, and corset (!) from their magical dress-up room
