  7. Stairway

    Stairway by Jeremy Johnson from the GigaPan South Pole 360 degree Pano july 29th by Jeremy Johnson

    Connecting the lower roof to the upper roof. The Meteorology department goes to the roof daily for Weather Observation. Though during the winter they must stay ont eh lower roof as not to interfere with sensitive scientific instruments watching the night sky. Some of the equipment is so sensitive that it must be turned off during full moons due to the fact that the bright light from the moon will blow out the sensors.

  20. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station

    Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station by Jeremy Johnson from the GigaPan South Pole 360 degree Pano by Jeremy Johnson

    The new South Pole Station. The light you see in a few of the windows is an effect of the 30 second exposures, they are not this bright while standing outside. And normall you can not see them any light at all. it is seeping through the edges of the window blocks that are installed to prevent the ligh from the inside of the station from damaging sensitive science equipment on the roof
