Mike’s Photos

South Pole

I worked five summer seasons at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.
Only two of my photos remain.

To answer your frequently asked questions about that last photo:
1. Yes, except for the socks, shoes, and sunglasses.
2. To show toughness and a sense of humor.
3. About –20°F, one of the warmest days of the year.
4. Yes, sort of. On the website, not in the magazine.
