At the beginning of the summer, here's the doors at what would be Destination Alpha, but not yet (I).
But first, a stair tower was needed (RP).
Some assembly required...(RP)
...thus (RP).
A bit of detail work on the treads (JM).
And it is done...ready for the design team (JM).
A bit later on in the swing shift, when it was in the sun (I).
And here's a view from the aerial photo (FB).
Meanwhile, just inside the first level door, we had those 3 glass display cases. Here's the initial fill as of March (JN).
Starting with the closest one, here's that sweater Admiral Byrd wore when he flew overhead a few years ago (JN).
The middle one includes a copy of Amundsen's book The South Pole (JN).
The one closest to the front door contains most of the Pole markers that have not been stolen (JN).
B3 photo credits other than mine: Jerry Marty (JM), Denis Barkats (DB), Neal Scheibe (NS), Rechelle Parent (RP), Forest Banks (FB), John Neame (JN), and the common drive (I).
