Описание к видео McMurdo Sound, Antarctica 4K

McMurdo Sound is a sound in Antarctica. It is the southernmost navigable body of water in the world, and is about 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) from the South Pole.

Captain James Clark Ross discovered the sound in February 1841, and named it after one of Lieutenants of his ships Lt. Archibald McMurdo of HMS Terror abandoned in 1845 and found again in 2016. The sound today serves as a resupply route for cargo ships and for airplanes that land on the floating ice airstrips near McMurdo Station.
