| Ever so often I
come upon a topic that piques my interest and inspires
me to do some research to learn everything I can about
it. A few years ago, I went looking for information
about Antarctica. I came across several web sites about
the 30 or so people who winter over each year at the
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. I was fascinated
by the concept of spending several months in darkness
isolated on the coldest continent in the world. The
winter-overs were keeping an online newspaper that year
called The New South Polar Times, and I eagerly
awaited each new update. These days I've moved on to
other things (so I should maybe call this section "What
WAS Happening at the South Pole?" :) ), but the
links below are still active and make for interesting
reading. |
