The
cold winter temperatures usually mean crystal clear days as there is no
water vapour in the air. The scale of Antarctica in these conditions
becomes quite overpowering, almost frightening. You can be standing on a
cliff edge and be able to see a clear 100 miles in all directions knowing
that the only other human beings in that 100 mile radius circle are your
fellow winterers in the collection of huts just below you.
If the air is still then the silence too is equally
huge, with nothing moving or making a sound in the whole of that vast
wilderness.
