 The
ACB at sunset. This was taken late in the season, so it was well below
-35C. These low temperatures cause the water vapour in the generator
exhaust to condense. Then I just had to wait for the wind to blow from the
South, which hardly ever happened, to get this nice picture. |

 The
ICB at sunset. As I was a
Met Man, I got to go outside on a
regular basis. you soon get the idea to take your camera every time and,
consequently, get to see & snap a lot of sunsets & sunrises. |

is a mirage of the Gin Bottle area. This is the place where the ice shelf

chasms. This was taken from the ICB, and was rarely visible. |

 We
got through one flag each year - they get ripped to shreds by all the
storms. The flag is lowered on the last day of sunshine in May and a new
one raised when the sun returns in August. By the time the ship arrives in
December, it'll look something like this. |
