That’s the ceremonial South Pole, which is a couple hundred feet away from the actual South Pole. The actual South Pole has to be moved periodically to account for the glacial flow of the ice. Current weather is -25°F with 18 knot wind (-56°F with wind chill).

The post-thanksgiving dance party had an appropriately industrial vibe down in the LO Arch (confession: I don’t know what the “LO” in “LO Arch” means).

Bonus party picture — I think ptbnl should be able to identify two people from this one.

UPDATE — I’ll try to post some more photos over the next few days, God satellite access willing.

First, here is my telescope, looking appealingly symmetrical with its calibration mirror installed.

    You’ve gone that far south, and you haven’t found Jemile Weeks’ trade value yet?!?!?!

    Because survival is insufficient

    Plenty of room for our new stadium!

    There's a wild thing in the woolshed and it's keeping me awake at night.

      Sorry, the Giants have already claimed it as their territory.

        Shit, you’re right. MadBum importing fans:

          I would love a video of that penguin attacking him. Or caption this with the penguin asking “What’s wrong with timmeh?!?!?!”

          • beebo Nov 25,2012 7:18 pm || Up

            Not pictured: the penguin poop that ended up on his shirt.

            • ozzman99 Nov 25,2012 7:24 pm || Up

              Or the partially digested fish that was regurgitated on his face.

                I think beebo was talking about things that are NOT pictured.

      Probably will need a dome.

    That’s really cool. So with the windchill, late spring is a balmy -56? Also, y’all need a hot tub.

      We do have a sauna. Stay in there as long as possible, then stand around outside for a few minutes, and repeat.

          Shorts for me. You get just as cold, but it covers up the embarrassingly complete shrinkage.

          • ozzman99 Nov 25,2012 5:14 pm || Up

            I can’t even imagine.

            Think ‘innie.’

              I’d rather not think about it at all.

              More like a turtle hiding in his shell.

    The actual South Pole stadium proposal has to be moved periodically to account for the glacial flow of the ice Bud Selig.

    (very cool)

      This is correct.

      If I ever do happen to find myself at the South Pole or in Antarctica, I will put up photos like this.

    Your telescope looks like my old spice containers. Spice containers that are old, not Old Spice containers.

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

    A soliloquy of fresh-sounding ideas which would probably be disastrous.
