Logistics Arch

This photo was taken at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the 2014 Winter season.

 

A majority of the work done at South Pole is maintaining the supplies (food, toilet paper, etc) and making sure that once the station reopens, that the correct items are flown in. A lot of the supplies are in this arch, behind the snow drift. Inside are rows of supplies and part of it is very much like the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse scene. The image also shows some exhaust from the power plant, a small aurora and part of the milky way. Outside most of the buildings, red lights are lit to help maintain night vision.
