An exceptionally bright 'bolide' above Concordia base taken on 8 September 2012. The trails were visible for 15 minutes.
The temperature at the time this picture was taken was -69.8 °C.
ESA sponsors a medical research doctor in Concordia every winter to study the long-term effects of isolation.
The base is 3200 m above sea level and temperatures drop to –80°C. No supplies can be delivered during the Antarctic winter and nobody can leave the base, no matter what emergency.
The station is the closest thing on Earth to interplanetary exploration. Studying the effects of isolation there is preparing ESA for the real thing: a mission to Mars.

On a side note, I just saw this amazing video yesterday, thanks to notraces. For those of you who have even the minutest interest in large format photography and traditional photographic processes, especially wet plate collodion, then you should see this. You won't regret it.
Tell me what you think of it after the jump.

Since I'm in Germany, naturally I need to get off my video game-playing butt and start practicing the language! The other day I found in Ali's father's house a quite heavily worn German to English grammar book from 1875 which perhaps Ali's grandfather or great grandfather used to learn English. So 100 years later, what better way to practice the language than to use the same book! I've really enjoyed making flash cards and learning new words with this book. Although I might end up talking like an "alter Kopf"...
Some of the English phrases are also amusing. For example, "Decisive of"? I've never seen that word used that way...
