Castle Rock

With the cryostat (aka Theo) delivered, Team Princeton was eager to head out to the Long Duration Balloon facility (LDB) to take a look. But since we still didn’t have the rest of our cargo, there wasn’t a lot else to do. Lorenzo, Jamil, Johanna, and I took the opportunity to hike the Castle Rock loop, which is a long recreational hike out of McMurdo (It’s about 16 kilometres long and took us a little over 4 hours to complete.) This was a new experience for me, having previously only hiked Castle Rock late in the season, once we’re waiting to fly.
