An old dirt road on Marble Point. A permanent field camp at the edge of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Marble Point primarily serves as a refueling station for helicopters supporting researchers doing fieldwork in Antarctica's largest ice-free continental region. It was once considered as an alternative location for a major research station for the United States. See article in The Antarctic Sun for more information.
