It was a green sky last week as the biggest aurora storm of the season swept over the South Pole. No long camera exposure needed for this fantastic aurora scene.

Everything that has a beginning and an end has a middle, too—and that goes for winter. Last week at the South Pole they celebrated midwinter, the marking of the winter solstice.
