This is another Panorama of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. This one was taken technically on the 29th, the day after my previous similar shot. Though just barely, this shot was taken at 1 am.

The vanguard of the summer crew arrived on this sturdy little aircraft, along with some small cargo and some most-welcome fresh fruit and eggs. We actually saw two earlier planes which stopped by for fuel on...
