Hibiscus in a Bucket

We're getting ready to tear all of the plants out of the greenhouse in order to sterilize everything and start the food growing for the winter-over crew. The first thing to go was this huge hibiscus which is now sitting in a bucket in the hallway. I can't bear the thought of them all being thrown away....

South Pole Station

It was a beautiful night last night to go for a walk with -25F temps and very little wind. A perfect night for taking photos and skiing. The beautiful light here never ceases to amaze me and while there is a bit of junk around the station, I do love that most of it is so colorful. And never a place without a sense of humor, we now have our own 'Spool Henge'.

Inside South Pole

I haven't slept much at South Pole, generally only 2-3 hours a night since I arrived here last week. While this isn’t ideal for functioning during the day, it does allow me lots of time to traipse the halls & rooms of the station taking photos and exploring without anyone around at night.

Yesterday I woke up at 2am and went off to do a little wandering. These are a few photos from the inside of the station to give you an idea of what it’s like here… My favorite parts of course are the flowers & books.  And the art room is pretty inspiring too.

Sometimes it's like a spaceship

On a good day. Keeping it real.
