mcmurdo

This provides a paradox the increase of melted ice produces an increase of summer ice ,and winter ice as it freezes faster this is evidenced by the icebreaker fleets entering mcmurdo and difficlties in cutting channels for replenishment.

Stellar axis is a giant art piece depicting the 99 brightest stars in the southern hemisphere. blue fiberglass spheres of various yet relative sizes represent the stars - with sirius being the largest. they are arranged as they are in the sky, in forms of constellations as they are when the solstice occurs. only we don't see the night sky here, therefore we don't get stars, but either way, it is beautiful, the contrast of cobalt and ice shelf. locally, the spheres had become known as 'blueballs.' ( "hey sandwich, you really have to go out there and check out the blueballs ... they're amazing!") the installation is about a 45 minute ride from mcmurdo, out on the ross ice shelf, near pegasus runway.
