Antarctica: A Year On Ice feature film.Moonlight Landscape, Black Island, Antarctica.
Two Pisten Bully vehicles traversing across the Ice Shelf from Black Island back to McMurdo in foggy conditions with an aurora overhead turning the lighting green. Temperatures were approx -55 C out on the ice shelf this day, so I only managed one or two photos before the camera froze.

Dead Adelie Penguin Chick. Only about 20% of the chicks survive, most fall prey to predators such a skuas and leopard seals. The penguin rookeries are littered with the corpses of frozen dead chicks from over the years.

Inscription on the wall "Losses to date" from 1916 under one of the bunks at the Cape Evans historic hut. These were Shackelton's "Forgotten Men" who were waiting for him to cross Antarctica, not knowing his ship had been crushed in the ice on the other side of the continent, hence the last name being an abbreviated Shackelton with a question mark after it.
