Ice Stock!!!!

McMurdo Station has a long running tradition of hosting a music festival every New Year's called Ice Stock. Imagine 7 hours of bands with names like: Banana Hog and Steel Penguin, frozen performers, a coffee shack called "Sawbucks" operated by the carpenters, dancing cats, human sized Muppet's, and a few hundred McMurdoites yelling for one more song! It was awesome and the best part was, at 1am when it all wrapped up, it was still just as light out as it was at noon that day! It was a super fun way to ring in the New Year and we didn't even have to pay to be there!

Safety Band made up of Janitors and General Assistants


THE dancing cat!

Why wouldn't we have a Barber Shop Quartet?

Banana Hog! A local favorite.
