Castle Rock

It is always good to get outside and to enjoy some of the magnificent scenery down here. This hike was one of my first hiking trips down here. We have a few different 'trails' down here that we can hike on, and get out of town. This trail is the Castle Rock Loop trail. It is about a 7 mile loop. Castle Rock is the formation that you can see to the right in the first picture with Mt. Erebus in the center. The second picture is a close up shot of Castle Rock. We climbed up the backside of this, and had a great view all around.





It was a chilly day, somewhere below zero with windchill.

Man moments....what better way to show your manliness than to take off your shirt in frigid Antarctic weather...I mean really...




My co-worker and friend Luigi. You can see that it was a rather chilly afternoon.
