Happy New Year! McMurdo's annual celebration on New Year's Eve is a musical event called Icestock. 11 Bands, 9 hours, one stage. A chili cooking contest, colorful costumes, lots of beer, wine and champagne - a real outdoor celebration! It was a bit cooler this year than last, but it didn't seem to slow the party down at all. Since I am transitioning to the night shift, this is one New Year's Eve I was able to stay awake for and enjoy!
