Some screenshots from the Rothera Research Station. A British Antarctic Survey base on the Antarctic Peninsula, located at Rothera Point, Adelaide Island. 

I hope that they are of interest 🙂.

Glad that you liked them JK 🙂.

Yes, but it's even colder when snow and ice covered...very nice shots of this very remote area. I like most the 1st and 15th shot for the idyllic sunset atmosphere.

Thank you Johnny 🙂. The Antarctic is an amazing place -

"Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and driest continent on Earth. Antarctica’s average annual temperature ranges from about −10°C on the coast to −60°C at the highest parts of the interior.

Near the coast, the temperature can exceed +10°C in summer and fall to below −40°C in winter. Over the elevated inland, it can rise to about −30°C in summer but fall below −80°C in winter.

The lowest temperature ever recorded on the Earth’s surface was −89.2°C at Vostok station on 21 July 1983.

On Antarctica’s coast, where the stations are located, there are usually a couple of weeks in mid-winter (around 21 June) when the sun does not rise, and a couple of weeks in summer around Christmas when the sun does not set".

Gorgeous shots Paul! 😉 

Absolutely awesome screenies, Paul. You really captured the atmosphere well !!

Thank you Bernd 🙂. For me, a part of posting screenshots is telling a story or giving a flavour of the place.

cheers 😉
