About the place

About Antarctica

Where Slate and Pico grew up: the research station's red huts on the shore, the penguin colony along the beach and the glacier coming down to the bay.

Every road is snow and ice, from the station loop to the long run down off the glacier.

Places to see

Places to see in Antarctica

  1. 1

    C.A.R.

    Coldshift Antarctic Research: the red huts, the mess, Flint's workshop, and the shore where everyone waved them off.

  2. 2

    The radio mast

    The station's mast, guyed against the wind. Pico used to climb it.

  3. 3

    The colony

    The penguin colony along the shore. Some of them remember Slate and Pico.

  4. 4

    The glacier

    Where the ice comes down off the plateau to the bay.

  5. 5

    The old airstrip

    The sea ice where the planes used to land: flat, white and endless.

Where you drive

The roads

  • The Colony Road

    Snow and ice2.5 km

    East from the station along the shore to the penguin colony: narrow, rocky, ice where the spray freezes.

  • Glacier Run

    Snow and ice4.4 km

    Down off the glacier to the bay: long, fast and sweeping, and it gets icier as it drops.

  • The Old Airstrip

    Snow and ice3 kmClosed to traffic

    Wide open sea ice where the planes used to land: room to slide, nothing to hit.

  • Station Loop

    Snow and ice1.3 kmClosed to traffic

    Round the huts and the radio mast at C.A.R.: packed snow, an icy corner by the mess. Gentle, to learn ice on.
