A view of the continent. |
Driving to work with a passenger. |
Palmer Station is powered by two 250KW diesel generators along with a smaller emergency backup. |
Everyone on station cycles through weekend (Sundays) station watches which includes the power plant and making station rounds. |
Sastrugi - parallel wavelike ridges caused by winds on the surface of hard snow, especially in polar regions. |
The South Pole surface is full of sastrugi. |
The sea is freezing over. Hermit Island in the back. |
An iceberg enclosed in ice in front of Hermit Island. |
Three faces of a cold hike. |
The seaice is starting to freeze over. |
Palmer Station backyard and two radio High Frequency (HF) Antennas that I work on. |
A beautiful sunset glowing off the continent. |
