Midnight Sun
Taken at about midnight after we arrived at our final stop for the tractor trains, with the sun still shining due south of us over the ridge running across "Weasel Gap". The name was given to the gap by the only previous expedition to this area, ten years earlier, when they passed through the gap with their light (WW2 vintage) Weasel vehicle.
The area was too badly crevassed for our heavy tractor trains to safely go further, though our survey field party travelled further south with light Snowtrac vehicles. Our tractor trains were stopped just to the left of this image (see PiP).

George...you really ought to have a gallery show of your incredible photography from Antarctica. This picture is staggering. The inset is equally gorgeous. Wow!!! And I always love to read about the moment...picturing your tractor train, the weather, the cold...it's incredible.
BTW, I sent a link to my husband because he just NEEDED to see that picture! :D His comment, "What an amazing landscape" is apt but he forgot GORGEOUS! JAW-DROPPING! SURREAL!
:D I hope your dear wife is doing well... :)
