Night sky

Also the antarctic night has its wonders.  The night sky with stars, planets, satellites, meteors, the milkyway and the Moon.

A lot of people are afraid about perennal night but if you have a lot of interests and keep in touch with your love, parents or friends it is simple to avoid the winterover syndrome (at least for me).
You couldn’t observe all these wonders with the Sun.

Photography is one of my best interests here, followed by wood carving and painting.

This is one concreate pillar tall as least 3 meters near the astronomical shelters. The first photo is oversaturated because it is very difficult to regulate the photocamera parameters at -65°C.  In some case you have to remove your gloves, act on controls and put back the gloves as faster as you can. But after few shots the camera controls start to freeze, the LCD updates the images really slowly and the shot button starts to become unresponsive.
