The McMurdo Station air field is covered in snow but fully functional, at least for these Skibirds, LC-130 aircraft from the 109th Airlift Wing based at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, N.Y. During colder months the airfield is accessible by larger, wheeled aircraft like the C-17, once the ice softens only the Skibirds access the least hospitable continent. (Photo courtesy Maj.
