oae Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The Blood Falls are in the Dry Valley's, Antarctica. Its about a 45 minute flight from McMurdo Station by Helicopter. I did not have the opportunity to set foot at the location but we did a fly by. I tell you its a bit wild to see all this red pop out suddenly in an area where the predominant color is white. Oh yeah, the Dry Valley's are the 2% of Antarctica that doesn't get snow and is the most like Mars on the planet. I have had ice harvested from the Taylor Glacier which is about 100,000 years old. That with 25 year old scotch makes for a might fine drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted May 26, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted May 26, 2018 And you didn't bring your bike to go for a ride? Seriously, that place looks pretty cool, thanks for sharing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oae Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 yeah.. bring my bike would be great, but I don't think the US taxpayer would like it. It costs $13,000 to get me down there. I can't imagine what it'd cost to bring a bike. We also one time figured out what a gallon of gas would cost us down there if we had to buy it. $43 a gallon at McMurdo and $187 at the south pole station. A bit rich for my blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
