Today was a beautiful, sunny, no wind day. I was going to attempt Ob(servation) Hill’s lower loop, but my hiking boots still haven’t come and my shoes were a little too cold to attempt it yet.
I will do it before I leave here. Just not today.
Scott's Cross was placed here by Captain Scott's team as a memorial to their leader. He and 2 colleagues were found frozen and/or starved to death in their tent about 11 miles from McMurdo almost 100 years ago, on their way back from a scientific trek to collect various rocks for study. They may have survived had Scott not stubbornly refused to leave the rocks behind due to his pride.
