ANTarctica Fourmilab South Pole Expedition January, 2013

South Pole Camp

Our South Pole camp was about a kilometre from the Pole.

In a miniature of the Union Glacier camp, there were a small mess tent, a tent for the staff, a toilet tent, and tents for guests.

The guest tents are the same as those used by staff at Union Glacier: double-layer tents with an “atrium” to allow entry and exit without venting the warm inside air. Outside it was around −25° C, inside, sometimes too warm.

Here's the GPS reading within our tent.

Penguin hats at the Pole! (Not to mention fogged-up glasses.)
