McMurdo NAS, Antarctica. This building is called a
Wannigan. It contains the radio
equipment used in directing the operations of the C-130 aircraft airlifting
equipment to the South Pole Station.
The bubble canopy proved worthless for observing aircraft or anything
else for that matter, for as soon as the controller stepped up to the bubble
to look out, his breath immediately frosted over the plastic. Caption
