Here is what the inside of the plane looks like. This time I am flying with many more scientists, and there is a whole team of people who will be traveling to the Dry Valleys after spending ~ 1 week in McMurdo. They are jealous that I am going to the South Pole, I am jealous that they are going to the Dry Valleys, though I don't think any of us really want to switch places: we love what we do!
The plane has six rows of seats in the middle, but the rest of us are sitting along the side of the plane. Behind the six rows of seats are the cargo. Right now I am sitting next to some sort of vehicle with a label that says "Engines, Internal Combustion, Flammable Liquid Powered", and next to it, is a giant drum labeled "Liquid Oxygen".
