Concordia sits on a plateau 3200 m above sea level. A place of extremes, temperatures can drop to –80°C in the winter, and the Sun does not rise above the horizon in the winter, forcing the crew to live in isolation without sunlight for four months of the year.
Its seclusion offers scientists a unique location to conduct research far from civilisation in many disciplines. The thin atmosphere, clear skies and zero light pollution around Concordia make it an ideal place for observing the Universe – as this picture shows with its aurora and many stars.
Auroras occur when atomic particles from the Sun hits Earth’s upper atmosphere, making it glow in a greenish blue light. They occur frequently over both polar regions, but are often difficult to see from populated areas.
For ESA, the isolation and extreme weather offer interesting parallels with spaceflight and living on another planet. Each year an ESA-sponsored medical doctor joins the crew of the Italian–French station to monitor and run experiments on the crew of up to 15.
This image was taken by Beth Healey, medical doctor from the winter of 2015. Timed to coincide with the opening of an exhibition on space and Antarctica, Beth is presenting the story “Step to the stars – our future in space starts on Earth”.
The narrative is featured in the WhiteSpace exhibition at the Times Science festival in Cheltenham, UK, being held 7–12 June.
What really happens in a crew of 13 isolated in a research station for nine months? Find out at Chronicles from Concordia.

Photo taken on the Oregon Coast. It was a overcast day which made for a nice big soft box.

Tales from my head
Can't buy the book
No one's listening but I guess you could
Try whistling this

"Try Whistling This"
If you like Crowded House, you will also love Neil Finn's solo stuff. He is a genius at crafting beautiful, soulful, intelligent pop songs.

Thanks guys for the lovely comments and faves- I whistled my way into Explore!

According to a USA Today article on August 21, 2013, 30 firefighters have died fighting wildfires this year as they saved our land, our homes and our lives. Sometimes, saying Thank You doesn't seem enough.
View in honor of the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Good Morning Dear Flickr Family . . .
One of the things my girls will always quote me as saying is,
"There's a reason for everything" . . .
During troubling times, this comforts me, because it gives me hope.
“It is not enough to preserve open space. We need to maintain it.”

Updated version - larger "W", better bracing, improved spacing and less whitespace in general. This still has two magnets in the back. The bley 1x2 bricks with pins have been replaced with white 2x2 bricks with pins.
The current plan is for this to replace "I'm Wearing More LEGO Than You" (so juvenile) in my name badge for the next few years (until I can reveal my much better name badge project).

I used to listen to Sum 41 when I was younger.
This picture is inspired by their song Hyper Insomnia. I don't like the song anymore; to be true I think they're more screaming than singing. But I still like the first verse lyrics.
