Usually, Ross Island is locked in the ice of the Ross Ice Shelf. In the summer, part of it clears. It's about 60-80 miles across the ice shelf to the continent, and the Trans-Antarctic mountain range. McMurdo is the largest station. It's population in the winter is around 180-200, and swells in the summer to 1,500. That's when most of the science happens. The winter-overs are there to maintain the station, a few experiments, and work on infrastructure projects.
