Icestock
Icestock is McMurdo's version of Woodstock. It is our very own music festival with several bands performing throughout the day. It goes from 4pm-1am on New Year's Eve, with a short break at midnight for the countdown, and then the big red Santa drops, and everyone celebrates New Years with champagne. It is a great time to dress up, dance and enjoy the music. The chili cook-off happens at the same time, so there is good chili to eat while listening to music. The carpentry shop also provides hot chocolate or coffee, with Baileys if requested. This year was quite cold, so other than a few warm-up breaks indoors, it was a great time with lots of great music. What a great way to ring in the new year.
