Geocache Description:

The Black Island, Antarctica camp is the final uplink for all U.S.A. phone and Internet off continent communication. As the Island can only be accessed by All-Terrain vehicle or helicopter from McMurdo Station, Antarctica, your going to really have to want this find. Good Luck!

The Black Island Stash is located in very close proximity to the infamous "Night Train" sleeping quarters at the Black Island Communications Facility. All of your efforts need to be focused on making it to the island. (No small task here!) If you can make to the island, just look under the corner of "Night Train" by the stairs. Be on the watch for Muggles because there is not much in the way of cover. ..However for 4 months, April through July, you can look for the stash in complete darkness 24 hours a day. The stash container is a yellow pill bottle with a screw top lid. Inside there is a couple of pages for a log book, a couple of U.S.A.P stickers and a U.S.A.P. lapel pin.
Good luck making it to the island and if your really lucky you'll get to spend the night. Then you'll learn why they call the sleeping quarters "The Night Train"!
