Long View Study No. 12 is the second collage in my series on Antarctic research bases. Its subject is McMurdo Station, Antarctica’s largest human settlement and America’s first permanent scientific facility on the continent.

The artwork specifically addresses McMurdo’s role in high-altitude research ballooning. Read about the launches, the science, and the art in my latest Long View blog post hosted by the California Academy of Sciences.

The subject of my newest Long View Study is Syowa Station, a Japanese research base in Eastern Antarctica. The full post on my CalAcademy blog is one of a series of profiles I’ll be doing on Antarctic stations and international scientific cooperation.
