Summary:I took this slide of an evening exercise out on this dome at the South Pole. One of the things that people did is that after a hard day’s work, one wanted to relax, and so quite often you would go into the bar and have a drink or watch a movie and afterwards, since it was always sunlight outside, we would come out and go dome sledding.
