I was a being a little cavalier when I wrote that post about New Year's not being a very big deal here. I forgot that New Year's Day is when the whole station goes outside to unveil the new geographic pole marker for the coming year. It was a fun ceremony, and the new marker is really interesting. Looks kind of like a planet...
...and the names of all of the 2015 winter-overs (who designed the marker for 2016) are engraved under the ring around the globe.
And it was beautiful weather while we were out there at 7pm on New Year's evening.
Then, I have to give huge props to all of the people who put a ton of effort into building a stage, setting up a sound system, and those who participated in bands who did an amazing job performing so we could have some live music that night for a party. They were all really impressive and it was great fun to listen and be part of the community here that evening.
Happy 2016!
