South Pole Winter 2009

a few wankers around

Above, the official 2009 winterover picture...after several tries in various places around station, this is how it ended up. A great color picture surrounded by individual small black-and-white photos, a very successful creation by Patrick Cullis, who has much more excellent photography here. Here is the unshrunk version (1.8mb). Below, the Midwinters Day photographs:

Here's the 2009 midwinter photo and invitation (the PDF version). The photo was taken behind the dome, which would disappear in the 2009-10 summer season. The original photo was taken by NOAA guy Cully (Patrick) Cullis...it appears below.
