Tour of Scott Base.
This is a walk through the facilities at Scott Base which was put together back in 2009 to give the new people who will be working there an idea of what to expect before flying down for the first time. A number of areas have been upgraded since this clip was put together, but it still gives a pretty good idea of what the base is like.

Fish-eye shot from the camera that was capturing the sun making a 360 degree circle in the sky. The white specs are blowing snow.Camera mounted to a post set in the ice for part of 5 month long time-lapse project. Recording changes in the sea ice pressure ridges in front of Scott Base in temperatures down to about -60C ambient. Despite the wrappings, snow was still driven inside the camera and packed solid in the compact flash and battery compartments.
