McMurdo Station is the largest U.S. base in Antarctica. Around 1,200 people live here during the austral summer. We sleep here and eat breakfast and dinner here, but work at the LDB Camp (Long Duration Ballooning Camp) a Williams Field..we call it Willie for short. McMurdo is on Ross Island whihc is a volcanic island. That's why the soil is so dark. LDB Camp is on the permanent sea ice about 10 miles east of McMurdo.
