South Pole Ice Tunnels

The Ice Tunnels were dug in the 50's or 60's when the Navy built the original station. They are used for transporting fresh water and raw sewage to and from the station. They are 30 to 60 feet under the snow and are COLD!

This is the door to the tunnels because the pole is always moving the gets tweaked and won't close all the way.

Here is a map of the tunnels.

The temp in the tunnels is always in the -60's F. Here's proof. This is the coldest place I have been.At the end of some of the tunnels you might find a sign like this. Must be part of a game the winter over polies play.

There are emergency exits in the tunnels but they aren't the safest.

There many things people have left in the tunnels. Here are some pic.
The famous Russin Sturgeon.

A pig's head. I kissed it. And a frozen bottle of Crown. At one end of the tunnels we found what keeps us from falling off the bottom of Earth. It was really hard to even lift your foot to walk around this thing. After spending about an hour down there we were cold and had to leave plus dinner was about to be served.
Here I am just after getting out of the tunnels.

Well that's almost all from pole. Go ahead leave a comment.
