The US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is seeing a great deal of construction activity these days. Years of planning are finally coming to fruition as the steel frame of the new station rises out of the snow and ice of the polar plateau. More pictures of the construction can be found here. From mid April until September don't be surprised to find a black photo. The sun is below the horizon for roughly six months. During the summer months you can see the Dome, Sky Lab (orange building left of the dome), and the new station under construction, anticipated completion 2005. Update all 60 minutes.
