Flag

When the Antarctic Treaty was signed back in 1959 there were 12 signatories.  So now the flags of those countries are flown during the summer months outside the Chalet, which is our administrative building.  Here is a pic of that.

We close that building down for the winter so the flags are taken down. During the winter they usually give away the flags that were flown the previous summer.  I've never gotten a flag before, but this year I got Argentina's flag.

I've never been to Argentina, but I have their flag that was flown over McMurdo during the 2017-2018 summer season. So there.
