Daylight hours

Myself and Scott had a go at skiing on the ramp yesterday. Little bit scary and icy but just had to make the most of the daylight hours.

Scott snowboarding. Note the moon behind him. This is 2pm in the afternoon. We won't see the sun at all now for the next 4 weeks as it obits very shallow around the Southern hemisphere during our Mid-winter.

Snowcats. The only way to travel in the warmth in the Antarctic. These vehicles have to endure temperatures down to -30 centigrade.
