[34.01] Sunlight and Ice Crystals in the Skies of Antarctica

R. Greenler (U. Wisconsin, Milwaukee)

This talk will describe some of the problems and pleasures of getting to and working at the U.S. Antarctic Research Station located at the South Pole. Slides, demonstrations, and video segments will help describe both the trip and the beautiful ice-crystal optical sky effects that were the object of the trip. The presentation will end with a unique time-lapse video record of a spectacular display of ice-crystal effects over the South Pole.
