Discussion Questions:
If you were in Antarctica, would you prefer to be in the field, or at McMurdo Station?

What was going on in the world in 1956? Why did the U.S. set up a base at this time?

Why do you think McMurdo Station is located on Ross Island?

If you were to travel to Antarctica, what would you want to do? Be a scientist? A shuttle driver? A chef? A doctor?
