T. Hamann: "The dome (golfball) seen in three of the pictures is the NASA satellite tracking ground station. The light that illuminates the foreground comes from McMurdo itself. There's a large amount of light in 'town' and it reflects off the snow and ice." Photo details: Olympus 3040Z digital camera, 400 speed equivalent at 2.8 for 16 seconds. |

L. Anderson: "When I took this photograph, it was a magical moment. The light of dawn was in sharp contrast with the northern lights, and the bright moon lit up the entire scene. It was comfortable out, with no wind - and virtually no mosquitoes. And bright mars could be seen near the moon to the southeast." |
