Antarctica, December, 2010 - January, 2011

This Russian Orthodox church known as Trinity Church was constructed in Russia and transported in the mid-1990's by a supply ship to this hill on King George Island.  Note that most of the places in Russia indicated on the sign are about 15,000 kilometers away!   It goes without saying that it is the southernmost Orthodox church in the world, and it services the folks stationed at a Russian research base here.
