I came across this tweet last night before bed:Some pics of my home the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station #11monthsInAntarctica #auroras #milkyway #stars pic.twitter.com/f12tclwoGz — Dr. C. Corbett Moran (@corbett) May 13, 2016//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js I am late to the party on this one, but Dr. Christine Corbett Moran has been living in the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station since January 2016. She is “wintering” with the South Pole Telescope and studying Cosmic Microwave Background radiation with the University of Chicago. I don’t profess to be a student of CMB, but I am so intrigued by her settlement situation. She is living in a place where there is effectively one long day and one long night. There’s sun for 6 months and then no sun for 6 months. I’m not sure how I would feel living in such a remote place with no sun for half of the year. I’m thinking about it now and it’s making me a bit anxious. I’m not sure if the remoteness would make me feel liberated or trapped. Thankfully, Christine has a newsletter where she shares her experience in the South Pole. I signed up for it last night and I’m looking forward to seeing what she publishes. If you’d also like to give it a go, you can sign up here.
