The Geographic Pole
Krusty and I at the 10 meter telescope.
New South Pole Station.
This was one of the big projects for the year to send the 10 meter telescope to the South Pole. It was built in the States taken apart and shiped to New Zealand then loaded onto the C-17 and flown to McMurdo. Then we had to re-restrain it again so it could then be shipped to the South Pole on C-130s. It took about 2 months of work to get it to the South Pole once it arrived in New Zealand. Then about two months for it to be erected at the Pole.
