Here's some more photos of the Crary Science lab in McMurdo. We have about 250 scientist on station this week, with about half out in the field. The remainder are using labs and offices in Crary getting ready for field work or analyzing results from field work. The lab, one of the newest building on station, is 20 years old. The need for capital improvements and new facilities is massive, and a blue ribbon panel has been chaired to look into this. In spite of the limited facilities and funding, there is a lot of interesting science stuff going on down here.

Renamed by seafood marketers as Chilean Sea Bass.
So much easier to sell that way, now sadly, nearly fished out.
