"Sunsets and Snow"
Sunset at 5:30 this evening, amazing!
The countdown to the final sunset has begun. April 25th the sun will set for the final time until mid-August. Today I woke to several inches of newly fallen snow. The temperature soared to an amazing 4 degrees F!
A tracked snow vehicle sits in newly fallen snow in McMurdo today.
The view West of the actual sunset, the Royal Society Mountains are part of the Transantarctic Range.
