Remote Areas, Number Two!

This week we travel to the bottom of the world (Antarctica).  McMurdo Station is a U.S. Antarctic research center located on the southern tip of Ross Island (New Zealand) on the shore of the McMurdo Sound in Antarctica.  It is the largest community in Antarctica and can support up to 1,258 residents.  The McMurdo Station is located 2,415 miles south of Christchurch, New Zealand, and 850 miles north of the South Pole.  The climate is definitely not for the faint of heart — every month has an average temperature below freezing!  Brrr.  And, if you are interested in seeing what’s going on there right now, check out the live video feed.
