About

Affectionately known as "Derelict Junction," this is where residents of McMurdo Station catch a shuttle to take them out of the immediate town area.

Whether going to one of the airfields, neighboring Scott Base, or somewhere else, Derelict Junction provides riders with a little shelter from the elements of the harsh Antarctic environment.
