So you think we are having a cool season. This from 75 Degrees South, a blog from the British Antarctic Survey. The blogger posts from Halley, where it is currently a balmy 29 below.
Sun down is an important date at Halley. Today the Sun set for the last time in 105 days, marking the beginning of the true Halley winter. Now I can understand that over 3 months of complete darkness might sound a bit grim to most people but strangely these winter months are my favourite time down here. To really experience Antarctica you have to see it during the winter.
