Mid-Winter Greetings

The following photos were sent to me from a good friend spending another winter season in the deep south. Today is winter solstice in the southern hemisphere and from now on it will get progressively lighter. This is an important occasion for the winter over staff at a number of the Antarctic research bases and they all exchange mid-winter greetings in the form of electronic solstice greetings. Here are a few that were shared with us.
