July is the last month of darkness at the #southpole, the skies are noticeably getting brighter. Still time for some #aurora, here is a pic from winterover Anjali showing some during the walk from station to the Dark Sector (with a person walking in distance) @NSF @doescience

It's still about a month away from official #sunrise at the #southpole, but they are starting to see signs of the Sun on the horizon! Picture by winterover Zeke Mills from the deck on the station! @NSF #southpole

Getting closer to #sunrise at the #southpole, with official sunrise still nearly three weeks away. Winterover Sim capturing a picture of the horizon behind the ceremonial South Pole with his rubber duck on top. #Antarctica

This weekend was official #sunrise at the #southpole! Which happens at the autumn equinox. Unfortunately, the weather was very overcast, as you can see from this picture (credit: winterover Sim) during the official sunrise day! #whiteout @NSF @NOAA #Antarctica

Been clear skies and great observing weather the past week at the #southpole. SPT winterover Karia Dibert was able to get to a visit this nice picture at the RF communications dome, showing some impressive #aurora! @NSF @doescience

First LC130 of the season, and second flight of the summer, arrived today at Pole! There should be about 80 new arrivals at Pole this weekend, as the summer season starts in full swing! #Antarctica #southpole @NSF

First official flight of the 2025-2026 Austral summer season arrived last Tuesday (Oct-28). Here is a pic from SPT winterover Sim Bash of the arriving crew. Right now we have five SPT'ers in McMurdo hoping to fly to Pole in the next couple days! #Antarctica #southpole

The first SPT'ers of the Austral summer arrived last week at the South Pole! Here is a group picture of the team Kevin & Josh (outgoing 2024 winterovers), Sim & Karia (incoming 2025 winterovers), and Matt & Jessica & Adam (SPT-SLIM team) #Antarctica #southpole

Another amazing picture from winterover Anjali this week of the clear deep blue skies over SPT! Its also definitely getting brighter out, less than 2 months until official #sunrise at the #southpole #Antarctica! @NSF @doescience

Returning from a winter tour across Norway's Hardangervidda, we stopped at Oslo's brilliant #FramMuseum - finding this memorial to my childhood heroes: the 5 Norwegians who on this day in 1911 reached the #SouthPole: Roald #Amundsen, Helmer #Hanssen, Sverre #Hassel, Oscar #Wisting, Olav #Bjaaland.

Photo of myself among five live-sized sculptures of the Polar explorers listed in the post. Everybody, me included, is wearing a thick anorak, holding their winter caps in one hand.

SPT winterover Karia Dibert pictured under a nearly full moon (or moondog) at the #southpole (Pic by Toshin Rao). On a 2-mile thick ice sheet in many directions the horizon is featureless, and the moon beautifully highlights the sastrugi. @NSF @doescience #Antarctica

A picture of SPT and DSL from winterover Michel last week, with the moon starting to set. Even with the moon up and the red night vision lights on, you can still see the #aurora southern lights. @NSF @doescience #Antarctica #southpole
