Tunnel vision

-58° F or -50° C. I don't know any place where it is colder than here, on earth (not counting any cryogenic physics experiments)

 Let's go down under! We had the chance to visit the catacombs underneath the South Pole Station as deep as 30 to 50 feet (10 to 15 metes) underground. Julie, she is responsible for the science coordination at Pole, picked us up at 6pm in the lab. I was already sweating like hell because we were informed to dress properly for this adventure. So I took on everything I could find...but I was grateful for that later on!

The walls down here ain't straight any more because of the snow movement (~10cm per week, I heard)

 At some parts on the track it was quite hard to squeeze trough because the walls of ice are moving. The whole ice shelf about 10 cm per week - so they have to reshape the walls every now and then to make sure that the doors down here don't splash.

That's the brand new South-Pole-Mascara

 It is so cold down here that ice crystals stick to the eyelashes, which is pretty cool!

Cold, dark end narrow: catacombs down under the station

Gary is reading the myth about the caviar shrine. The fish was smuggled all around the world to find his place at this memorial shrine (I forgot about the details).
