Cold, Southern Lights

Simon Coggins works for the British Antarctic Survey and writes a fascinating blog about living 75 Degrees South at Halley, Antarctica Britain's most southerly and isolated research station.

Take a look at the gallery to see how they live inside the Laws Platform and some of the extraordinary photos of the Aurora Australis (the Southern Lights) taken by Jeff Cohen.

So interesting that at the darkest time of the year, June 21, they take a week off to make presents  for each other,  feast, and have special communication with their families.
