It's midwinter in Antarctica. I remember my own winter there fondly. The presents, the celebrations, the great sense of community.... and all around the continent fellow Antarcticans sending each other midwinter greetings. Today I received this one from the Chilean Antarctic Institute. Happy Midwinter to you all.
