  • Detail of the Mercury Redstone rocket used by astronauts in preparation for the Apollo flights to the Moon.

  • One of the first photos I took at South Pole was out my dorm window after arrival. The flag on the left marks the geographic South Pole, the structure on the right is part of the South Pole SuperDARN antenna array. All the small flags mark safe routes when visibility is low, and no-go zones. And yeah, that wind is blowing hard.

  • View out my dorm window at South Pole Station. To the left of the flag is the geographic South Pole, the structure on the right is part of the South Pole SuperDARN antenna array. The small flags mark safe routes when visibility is low, and no-go zones. And yes, that wind is blowing hard.

  • View out my dorm window, Building 203A, Room 213. I could always tell how bad the wind chill was going to be by watching how hard that little flag was flapping in the wind. It was usually flapping hard.

  • Polar Plateau with flags marking the location of IceTop surface array of DOM sensors, part of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.

  • Snowshoeing the flagged trail from the Marr Piedmont to the Backyard

  • Ceremonial South Pole with the flags of the original signatories of the Antarctic Treaty flying. And a Scott tent, which is not something you would normally see set up next to the ceremonial Pole (the actual geographic South Pole is a couple hundred yeards away). A few hearty Polies camped out for the night. With 4 people in the tent they said it was reasonably warm, as high as zero F in the tent.

  • Marr Piedmont Glacier, and  you can see the need to stay within the flagged areas.

  • Raising the Flags of the original 12 Antarctic Treaty signatory nations. The 12 flags are flown during the Austral Summer when the sun does not set.

  • Visually it was stunning, the sun lit the snow to a golden color and the drift tore down 12,000 foot Erebus and across the sea ice creating small tornadoes and dense clouds of snow that would occasionally blot out all but the nearest one or two flagged poles marking the route. At times the blown snow stayed at ground level, blowing hard from right to left across our route, and it was so thick that I couldn’t see the ground, rather it felt like I was crossing a fast flowing river of snow. It was disorienting, and if not for the flagged poles it would be easy to loose direction.
