Weather Conditions in Antarctica:

• Go to this site at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the latest Antarctic weather conditions.
• Here is a link to New Zealand's Scott Base live web cam to see conditions at the edge of the ice shelf about a mile from McMurdo.
• The Scott-Amundsen South Pole Station also has a live web cam that provides images from the South Pole--when they can maintain a satellite up link.
• Here is a link to a great video clip created by Joe Harrigan with time lapse clips from in and around McMurdo Station.
