Jason McDonald of the US Antarctic Program sent us this great photo of where he lives at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. The photo was taken in the Antarctic "summer" which occurs in our winter months. It is still dark right now in Antarctica, but the sun should return in late September.
This photo is good because it helps us see both the new elevated station -- where everyone lives now-- and the old dome which is where people used to live but is now a supply base.
Jason was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so he knows all about life in both exotic Antarctica and exotic New Orleans. Thanks for the photo, Jason! -- Adrian
