It's buried on the site but they also have a fantastic photogallery: https://photolibrary.usap.gov/#1-1expanded

To add: a while back I discovered who this guy did a slice-of-life video journal of his time in the south pole station. Super interesting! https://www.youtube.com/@GoneVenturing/playlists

If anyone can tell me what the hell I am looking at in image 37, I would be forever grateful.

I can't even imagine seeing that in person I'd lose my everloving mind.

You referred to 37, but I suspect you meant 35. Or we have very mindsets on what is impressive.

All of the images have captions describing what they are.

strange, I think it was cause I was on Mobile that the numbers were different. Also why I couldn't see the explanations. I was referring to #49. The explanation says its a "Little earth composite of the sky".

Still no idea what that means.
