McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Why is there a door on the top floor of Big Blue (Bldg 155)? I just noticed it a few days ago. My first thought was that it was put in as an emergency exit in case of a big snowstorm. Maybe they're planning for sea level rise when the Antarctic Ice Sheet melts. I have yet to find a window in the building that opens. Whatever the answer, now when I pass Big Blue I like to picture myself walking out that door onto a sea of white holding Big Red (the parka) close.
