There are two pictures of buildings at McMurdo below. The first is the Crary Lab building where the main science lab area is. The second is a building occupied by NASA.
Here are your questions:
Both buildings are built above ground on pylons. Why do you think they are build this way?
The Crary building has an inward tilt along the bottom edge and the entire bottom is covered with sheet metal so that it is smooth. Why would they shape the lower edge like this?
Send me your answers in the "Ask the Team" section. Good luck!
