This is how that painting is supposed to look...I uploaded a cmyk one before. Doh! These guys were the primary pilots I flew with...behind them, you can see the jet...a C-141B Starlifter. All of this is on ice, about 5-8 feet thick, with 1,500 feet of water below that. In the distance, near the volcano, you can see McMurdo.

I created this painting with acrylic paint and an airbrush and the original is about 3 feet wide.

While at McMurdo, I was able to look in the windows of Scott's Hut. He was the ill fated explorer Robert Falcon Scott who tried to get to the south pole first in the early 1900's, but was just behind another explorer named Raold Amundsen - a Norwegian - who made it to the location of the true south pole first.

Antarctica is actually extremely arid, and everything Scott and his team mates left behind in the hut are still there. It looks like they just stepped out the door a few minutes earlier. Very, very eerie.

In our game Frozen, we've tried to impart a sense of the vast spaces and incredible, towering mountains of ice and snow that the hero, Samantha Bloodworth, needs to traverse in her efforts to get back to McMurdo after volcanic blasts rock the continent.
