Resident South Pole photography expert (and 12-time winter-over) Robert Schwarz took this amazing long exposure panoramic (360-degree) photo of the South Pole skyline a couple of weeks ago.

I haven't seen it, but Robert says he could see with the naked eye a slight glow on the horizon where the sun would be if it was rising. It will still be pretty dark down here for the next couple months, but I'm constantly reminded that we're on the upswing of winter and this night won't last. Which honestly makes me kind of sad.
