Antarctic Sky
I forgot to mention the Antarctic sky.
I came down last year late enough in the summer that the lighting was almost daytime lighting, say 10 AM lighting, and although I saw some beautiful skies, all could be described with white, yellow, and blue (except, of course, for the rainbows). This year, I see pink as well.
From my Day 1 in McMurdo journal entry:
---------
Today was cold. Cold-cold-cold, my exposed nose already feeling as though it was getting frostnip between my dorm and Crary. The wind whipped through the station in the evening, pushing me around. Although the weather calmed again, I can hear the wind now.
The weather was incredible when we got in. Beautiful, amazingly clear (except, of course, a cap of clouds on Erebus), with Mt. Discovery and the TransAntarctics standing out in detail. This evening, I noted pink clouds, thinking nothing of it. Pink clouds, sunset. Wait. Pink clouds! Pink clouds in Antarctica! The first time I've seen color in the sky down here. Excellent.
---------
The lighting is best at night. When I first got down, the sun was actually "setting" behind Mt. Discovery, a prominent extinct volcano west of McMurdo. Now, the sun skirts above Mt. Discovery, still producing late-evening light sometime after midnight.
The almost-sunsets turn McMurdo pink. The same night I took the picture above, I spent about ten minutes watching snow swirl upward in the wind from the pink western face of Ob Hill. Upward, sparkling in the sunlight, twisting like a tornado and then diffusing into the quiet night.
wow!!!!!!!!!
