South Pole Researchers Endure Deep Winter At New Station
Seventeen men at the Amundsen Scott South Pole Station enter the second half of their winter stay. Temperatures reach 100 degrees below zero as they conduct weather observations and studies. Neighboring Russian station lies 780 miles away. Sunless period continues until September. Diesel fuel and water systems have frozen parts, while a generator exhaust stack clogged with ice challenges power.
