One of the most anticipated annual events at South Pole is the party that the carpenters always put on. And they put an incredible amount of effort into it this year. There was the usual grill/bonfire, the amazing gnocchi that one of the carps makes, plus a photo booth (someone's computer in a room of the shop, with hand-warmers sitting on the keyboard to keep it functioning and a box of wigs), lawn games (ever play foosball or Bocci Ball in the snow? I have, now!) and a dance party. Such fun, South Pole style. Some pictures below.
Incredibly, the station is about to close for the winter. I can't believe how fast the summer has gone, and if the winter goes as quickly, this whole year is going to be gone in a flash. More to come as we transition into our wintertime routine and get ready for the long dark that's headed our way...
