March 28th – Day 89 on Ice

Weather: The clouds cleared up for a few hours late last night into early morning this morning. Temperatures and wind stayed nearly the same; 15-20mph winds and temps near -75F.

Weather changes moods… or at least it changes the feel of a place. Yesterday the high winds blew snow off the ground and created a grey/blue light that made the station seem gloomy and foreboding, exactly what you might expect from a horror movie or at least a movie set in some cold location.

The back of the station, showing signs of declining sun as snow accumulates along the sides.

As quickly as the snow can blow in, the winds can settle and the clouds can clear if only for a few hours. This morning at 3am it happened to be lovely and look more like a brisk sunrise with beautiful yellow and pink colors.

Twilight has begun, and when it’s clear outside the colors can be stunning!

These two photos were taken about 12 hours apart, but look like two different worlds! The only similar thing between them is that it was COLD taking both of them!

  1. Morning Allen, we loved your pictures in this post. Spooky indeed. How far away were you when taking that? And how long were you outside to get there? Fascinating but keep safe kiddo. XO
