RETURN OF LIVE PICTURES - The live web cam at the South Pole Station is operational again today after being off-line for the winter. Above is a view taken 9 September. I can’t believe that’s daylight so soon. I’ll check with my Polie friend when satellite communication is available later today. Note the line of flags that guides people to and from the main station year-round when ground level visibility is poor. This photo is taken from an atmospheric research building in the Clean Air Sector (you can see the building as a tiny dot at the far left of the sidebar aerial photo).
Current SP temperature -89F, wind at 10 mph. Wind chill -126F.
[Update] Haven't heard from the Pole yet but I think this really is daylight at the Pole! Sunrise is September 21, only 12 days away, so this is pre-dawn light coming from the Sun circling just below the horizon. I bet there are a bunch of excited Polies right about now.
