Here is a panorama of the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station on the evening of December 31, 2008. The snowy landscape around the Pole is fairly quiet, as almost everyone is getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party in the gymnasium of the elevated station. We have not yet ...-

Old dense icebergs that have broken off from the Antarctic ice sheets travel northward through the Southern Ocean, melting and breaking into smaller pieces as they encounter warmer water. In this shallow bay in the South Orkney Islands, a considerable number of large, dense icebergs have come to rest in water that ...

Amundsen Scott Station is a cold, isolated community of scientists and support personel at the bottom of the world, the South Pole. This is a peculiar place. Anywhere you look, you really are looking north. The station has an alpha entrance on one end and a zulu entrance on the other end. Both of them are, in reali...

Here we see a nice collection of vehicles that you could find at the South Pole on a typical summer day. I captured this panorama on the walk back to the elevated station from the Twin Otter that is sitting in the fuel pit. They had just completed the end-of-summer aerial p...-

The vehicles at the South Pole require a lot of tender loving care. It's cold outside. Steel becomes brittle. Oil doesn't flow and everything gets encased with ice.

So, here we are again, at the South Pole at the end of summer, watching the last plane of the season on the flight deck. This Hercules LC-130 dropped off some fuel and cargo for us, and then left with the few remaining summer crew members who had lingered to support the late summer flights. When the plane took off, 47 ...
