Tunnels at the South Pole

Tunnels at the South Pole

The tunnel that leads to the dome!

One of the escape tunnels out of the dome leading to a hatch that reaches the surface.

Me, Joy and Brenda in the escape tunnel!

The super-secret tunnel that leads to the fuel arch...

The utilidor tunnel that takes care of facilities for the dome!

Dan in the tunnel for size perspective!

NO ONE IS ALLOWED THRU THIS DOOR...we think it's where the thing is :)

Look at what has happened to the walls of the tunnels due to the movement and pressure of the ice!

One of the frosty exit hatches to the surface from the tunnels.

The escape hatch up from where the sewer system is dumped...gross!!!

Me above the sewer system...gotta love this shot :)

The walls are snow...so you can leave a mark that you were there!

A map of the newer constructed tunnels that carry utitlies for the new station!

Love this shot - the fog is from our group's breathing!

The tunnels are a constant -60C - Emma's eyelashes froze...so pretty!

Once again the tunnels were carved out of the snow and ice...by a chain saw.

We made it to the end and were 60 ft below the surface!

At the end of the tunnels is hidden a sturgeon...no idea why!

There is also a pig head from the first winter construction crew of thenew station - from a pig roast.

Our tour guide Scotty-Bob showing us where we are.

The tunnel explorers!!! What Fun!

Beautiful eyelashes Dan and Emma!
