Sunset and the Station -- a photo from Weeks Heist, USAP pen pal

Another great photo of the sunset over the South Pole Station in Antarctica sent to us from our school's pen pal, Weeks Heist, from his website. Notice that the sun always sits low on the horizon. In the photo you can see the Eleveated Station and the giant telescope used by the scientsts there. Also, note the guidelines at left designed to help people find their way in the ice field. (See Weeks' website for more info and photos: http://www.weeksjr.com/ Weeks permitted us to use this and other photos from his website to post to our blog. If you visit his site, you will see many wonderful photos of Antarctica. But please ask permission from Weeks first before using or re-posting these photos and be sure to credit Weeks for the photos if you use them, thanks.)
