Description |
English: Date: 1983
Location: en:McMurdo Station, Antarctica Photographer: Randy C. Bunney
USNS Southern Cross cargo operations at ice pier. en:McMurdo Station, Antarctica; 1983. The en:ice pier had been in use four seasons. Workers made the ice pier by repeatedly flooding an area with water which quickly turned to ice. However, by the time of 1983 cargo operations, the pier was rapidly deteriorating. Severe cracks appeared in the surface even as tidewaters further undercut the pier's edge causing large chunks of ice to break off. References "Race to reach McMurdo Station," The Press, March 23, 1983; Christchurch, New Zealand.
