The 2-mile long Stanford Linear Accelerator pushes electrons very close to the speed of light. Here we are outside the "klystron gallery" on the south side of the building about 1/2 way down the 2-mile length. This is the longest and straightest building in the world. Behind the building you can see Stanford's Primate ...

The Helicopter pad at Base Primavera had a great view of Cierva Cove. We spend some time taking in the view and making photographs. I was surprised by all of this green in Antarctica. The rocks were verdent with grasses and mosses, and we had to watch where we stepped to avoid the vegetation. The ice of Cierva ...

This is a clearer view of the Base Esperanza panorama that was uploaded to the Gigapan site on April 16. In the new image the snow has stopped, and the wind has had about a half hour to clean snow off of the buildings.
