It was a rather quiet week at the Pole. Not in the skies, though, where auroras continued to dance and the multitude of stars competed for attention. The bottom photo gives the stars a little bit more of the glory. Though many of us may have never witnessed a display of auroras, we’ve undoubtedly looked up into the sky and watched the stars. Even so, we aren’t often treated to such a dark sky that is so jam-packed with stars. Meanwhile, back inside, the winterovers had their monthly stationwide emergency response drill. This one involved a simulated fire in an electrical room and the extraction of “electrocuted” firefighters along with another victim.
