Dear Covers:
It's the dawn of a new day in Antarctica as autumn begins in Earth's northern hemisphere.

In the link below you will find photographs of the sun rising at the South Pole where many countries now have permanent stations. Humans, mostly scientists, specifically astronomers, live there throughout the year. The astronomers take advantage of the "day" that lasts for six months at a time on the South Pole. The sun rises once each year and sets just once each year. See also where the sun rose first in the new millennium.

Have a great day, Anarcticans! And, the same for the rest here in the upper latitudes.
