A member of Smith Crane & Construction, part of Antarctica New Zealand, maneuvers a 140,000-pound lower abutment into position at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, Nov. 6, 2025. The critical lift marked a pivotal moment in the construction of the National Science Foundation’s McMurdo Station Offload Infrastructure project, a mission supporting Operation Deep Freeze. The coordinated effort with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 highlighted the teamwork and precision required to execute complex construction operations in Antarctica’s extreme environment.
