Construction crews are still working on the exterior of the station, hence you see finished siding on the right side of the image and you see bare particle board and scaffold...

  6. The Helicopter pad at Base Primavera had a great view of Cierva Cove. We spend some time taking in the view and making photographs. I was surprised by all of this green in Antarctica.
