Spring skies at McMurdo

The promised gorgeous sunrises and sunsets (plus iridescent nacreous clouds) of the shoulder season here have not disappointed. And at this point the sun is rising and setting at what at home we would consider "normal" hours, so that we're not all trying to wake up in the darkness of winter or go to sleep under the constant blazing sun of summer. What a treat! As were the real-world sights of the skies in these pictures. Enjoy!
