These photos are a bit late coming to you, but I saw the sun (!) for the first time in four months from Arrival Heights back on August 20. (As you saw in the weekly snapshots, there was lots of light in the sky before then, but the 19th was the date the sun first actually crested the horizon at this latitude, and only a few people who made a trip out to the airfield could see it; it wasn't visible from town.) Crazy to think it's been that long since there's been sun on our faces, as the time has gone by SO FAST. But there it was...
And here is me, welcoming the sun back to this part of the world. (Thanks to R. B-R. for this photo!)
Finally, here is a picture from around that same time, taken from the third floor of one of the dorm buildings, of Observation Hill (with the moon standing guard) overlooking McMurdo town. It's not one of the quaintest destinations on the planet, but McMurdo definitely has its moments.
