How many research facilities are there in Antarctica and how big is the one you will be researching in?

Hello Jake!There is only one research facility here at McMurdo Station, it's called
"Crary Lab" and it's where I'm writing to you from right now.
It's a big building (4,320 square meters) that has two "phases" (two
floors), including a library with a great view of all the islands and
mountains that McMurdo overlooks. There are 91 projects going on here
at McMurdo, which means there are lots of people and labs here.
To see a picture and for more information go to:

Thanks and keep the questions coming!
Sincerely,
Michelle
