Lake Bonney consists of two lobes separated by the Bonney Riegel, one at the toe of the Taylor Glacier (and Blood Falls) and the other just east downvalley. The Lake Bonney research camp sits on the south shore of the east lobe and consists of a couple communal buildings, a small lab, and outlying sites for sleeping tents. I am not sure which projects have been using this camp full-time recently; I think several of the Long Term Ecological Research projects concerning Blood Falls and some of the soils-microbes groups base out of here.
The Rock Garden, an area of ventifacts (wind shaped rocks, which have been sandblasted for eons by harsh winds), is located uphill from the camp toward the Hughes Gl. On a rare day off while working on the Taylor Glacier project, we hiked to the Rock Garden to gawk at the fantastic formations, then down to the camp before hiking across the lakes back to the Blood Falls camp.
