My new room and a few outside pictures

My winter room.

A room with a view! It is a very nice and quiet room on the last wing's 2nd floor and at the end.

An unobstructed view of the South Pole.

The sun is still circling the Pole at around 8 degrees elevation now. This picture was taken at 5 pm.

The Ice Palace - restrooms.

In the event of a station emergency part of a wing can be isolated from the rest of the station. This wing has it's own (from the left) fuel tank, generator, and ice melter (enclosed in wood).
