Kevin Zagorski 🚀 📡 on Nostr: We officially just wrapped up the third coldest January on record at South Pole ...
We officially just wrapped up the third coldest January on record at South Pole Station and are rapidly approaching station closure in a couple weeks. Why do we close the station in February? In short, it becomes just too cold to fly the LC-130s and KBA Basler DC-3s that supply us until winter weather starts to tail off in September.
