MSFS: Looking for Erebus

[Charl]

The latest World Update has mapped Antarctica.
I confess I had no idea of what was where around the Ross Archipelago.
MSFS to the rescue.
I've "Been" to so many parts of the world in the sims, Google Earth open, Wikipedia filling in the details, it's why I love flightsims.
The US settlement at McMurdo is over 1,000 strong, and well represented.



It is a forbidding world: the legends of Amundsen and Scott and the incredible hardships they endured, live on.



The region is well represented in the sim. Just down the road (yes there is one), beyond the wind turbines, lives the more modest NZ Scott Base. But... all you see are the building footprints in the aerial photo!



Is there not one among us who could whip up a bunch of huts and plop them where they belong??
This is what they look like, not as if it's a hugely complicated scenery...

Charl that Mc Murdo is amazing, but I agree ...the little huddle of green buildings over the hill is sadly missing ...
Great post sir.

Thank you Marty.
I read through much of the events of 1979 again, simultaneously flying my Beaver around that desolated place.
The screenshots won't leave my HDD.
Oh and the Beaver's carbs iced and dumped me in McMurdo Sound.
