The Chapel of the Snows is a non-denominational Christian church at McMurdo Station on Ross Island, Antarctica. Built from scrap material in 1956, it burned down in 1978 and was rebuilt in 1989. It is one of eight churches on the continent and the only interfaith one, holding both Protestant and Catholic services, and its stained glass windows include penguins.
