What does a full day of sun look like at the earth’s southernmost point?
Robert Schwarz, who was stationed in the antarctic for 15 years as part of the experimental Keck project, filmed an illuminating timelapse while at the snowy location that shows the bright star floating above the horizon for an entire five-day period.
Shot in March 2017, the footage captures the bright sky just before the first sunset in months, when the pole experiences a dark period from April to August.

When Benjamin Franklin Shocked Himself While Attempting to Electrocute a Turkey
Among his many electrical experiments, the one for which Franklin is most celebrated is his successful attempt to capture the electricity of thunderclouds in a jar. But this victory might never have happened if not for a painful lesson he’d learned from one of his lesser-known tests, an experiment performed two years earlier, in December 1750.
During that failed endeavor, Franklin was traumatized and humbled by an unexpected foe: a turkey.
We'll be jabbed, recovered or dead
Germany's health minister has issued his starkest warning yet on the importance of getting vaccinated.
"By the end of this winter everyone in Germany will either be vaccinated, recovered or dead," Jens Spahn told a news conference in Berlin on Monday.
Germany is in the grip of a fourth wave of coronavirus. Cases are rising rapidly and many hospitals are full.
It has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe, with 68% of people fully vaccinated.
Germany's infection rate is at its highest since the pandemic began, and health experts have warned this wave could be the worst yet.
In the past 24 hours, there have been 30,643 new infections - 7,000 more than a week ago.
This is among the highest rates in the world.
Tighter restrictions are to be brought in which will see the unvaccinated excluded from certain venues, and some Germany's famed Christmas markets have been cancelled.
Mr Spahn said he was against making Covid vaccines compulsory, but that it was a "moral obligation" to get the jab because it impacts on other people.
"Freedom means taking responsibility, and there is a duty to society to get vaccinated," he said.
