Who is at McMurdo?

McMurdo Station is the largest American Base in Antarctica. The population in summer is around 1,200 people with fewer than 200 in winter. McMurdo serves as the logistics base for American operations in Antarctica as well as a science research facility. The station includes an airfield, heliport and harbor, as well as over 100 buildings. While the primary focus of American operations in Antarctica is science, most residents of McMurdo are support staff including cooks, mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, information technology, emergency services and others.
