The aurora australis over the Dark Sector at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on June 3, 2008. The Dark Sector is so-named due to the absence of light and radio wave interfence. The bright spot above the ground shield in the foreground is Jupiter. The white streaks of light going up are the Milky Way. (Keith Vanderlinde/National Science Foundation)

geography and nutrition outtake: Kerguelen Island 1958 stamp drawing of indigenous, edible cabbage. These islands are part of "French Southern and Antarctic Lands" (population 110 scientists mainly, surely a cook or two). Potassium and vitamin C rich the cabbage was good for early mariners.
