Alpenglow for LunchToday the sun rose at 11:27 and set at 2:17. I didn't see the sun itself because McMurdo is tucked in a little hole in the hills, but I did see the pink glow of meek sunlight on the surrounding mountains and Ob Hill. The sun sets for the final time in two days. I hope to see it just one last time before the darkness engulfs us. I've walked out to Hut Point to take in the sunset quite a bit in the last few weeks and I've hoped to see a seal every time. They were there almost every day this summer, but most of the seals have moved to other waters for the winter. Luckily I caught the last straggler. The juxtaposition is interesting with the industrial looking town in the foreground. I'm excited for the darkness, but I'm also excited for this same type of light to come back in August because it will be even more amazing after a few months of darkness. Comments
