The picture is a time lapse photo taken of the South Pole Station during the 1975-74 winter night

As I recall the outside temperature was about -84 deg F (-64C) not including windchill.  I had to wind the film very, very slowly to avoid breaking the film strip.  The bright light on the right is the opening of the vehicle and maintenance building.  The red colored Skylab appears to the left of the geodesic dome.
