The crew at South Pole Station extends a Hearty Mid-Winter Greeting to all our friends and colleagues on the continent and beyond!

Technology, at once both the cause of and solution to our problems, brings us ever closer to civilization and reduces the isolation of Antarctica. Nevertheless we long for the company of our family and friends. We wish they were here with us to experience the peace and tranquility of this frozen place.

We invite you to join us in anxious anticipation of the return of the sun and celebration of its change of course on this midwinter's day.

With warmest mid-winter regards,

Jerry "Mac" Macala
South Pole Winter Site Manager
