This year a team of four have returned to service a remote observatory located high on the Antarctic plateau. The interior of the continent is stark, but the coast is beautiful. The sun dips towards the horizon each day, but it will not set for four months. This is a view of the Ross Sea ice shelf with the midnight sun as seen from Observation Hill.
