©Copyright P. Ward - picture taken 1985 / 86
Signy is outside the Antarctic Circle, so it doesn't experience times of 24 hour light or dark, though in midsummer, when the sun goes below the horizon, it is still bright if the skies are clear. It never gets fully dark therefore, you just get an hour or so of twilight before it gets light again. This is taken just as the sun arose in the summer when I was on night-watch. In the foreground is a whale vertebra, a relic from an earlier era.
