bevonice: Crary Lab

Everything here in McMurdo revolves around the science work that is being done here. The scientists come down here and do tons of research involving everything from penguins to volcanic activity. The Crary lab is named after Dr. Albert P. Crary, the first person to set foot on both the North and South poles. The lab consists of three levels, which they call phases. Phase I consists of the biology labs and the library and meeting rooms. Phase II is the earth sciences and atmosphere labs. This is where the video from Mt Erebus's eruptions are recording. The third phase is the aquarium and more labs pertaining to marine biology. It is quite an amazing place and talking with the scientists, or beakers as they are called here, is very interesting.
