  2. After eight months of isolation from the outside world, it is great to see the first planes of summer arrive at the South Pole. This Basler, which is a modified DC-3, stopped briefly at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on this clear and quiet Staurday afternoon. The purpose of the visit was to take on fuel for the f...

  3. Here is the last Herc of Summer 2009-10 landing at the South Pole. Many thanks to the New York Air National Guard: 109th Airlift Wing for sharing their table in the galley at McMurdo and for a great flight to the Pole. The 11 images of this panorama were photographed with a Nikon D80 and stitched with Autopano Pro....

  4. Here is South Pole's first passenger plane of the summer 2009-10. It is a Basler, which is a converted DC-3. The vanguard of the summer crew arrived on this sturdy little aircraft, along with some small cargo and some most-welcome fresh fruit and eggs. We actually saw two earlier planes which stopped by for fuel on...

  5. Here is a view of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station as it appeared on March 1, 2009. I photographed this landscape as I was walking back from a weather balloon launch in the BIF. March 1st was a very calm day with the sun still high enough above the horizon to give a pleasant warmth to the -50 degree Fahrenheit...

  6. Here we see some of the 2009 South Pole winter-over crew. Darren, Boyd, George, Jack and Keith maintain equipment and keep vehicles on the station running. This was an especially warm day, with an ambient temperature of -23 F and very little wind. Notice the flag, which is usually flying high in my South Pole pano...
