It was really amazing to see some of the big bergs breaking off and floating away.
The bergs took some flag markers and we heard rumors that it took a small Kiwi fuel tank. This looks like it may have stolen a toilet!

The Ice Rededeth
Right before the last three flights left McMurdo we had a incredibly strong storm. It broke up a lot of the ice and now the sea edge has receded further back than it has been in over 15 years. In the pic below you can see how dangerously close the edge came to the road to the runway.
