Antarctic Journal: Four Months at the Bottom of the World Photos for Journal Entries By: Jennifer Owings Dewey Photograph by: Lisa Trotter Date Taken: July 13, 2010 National Science Foundation This Palmer Station sunrise photo was taken about 8:45 am on July 13. Palmer is located 64 degrees, 46 minutes South of the equator. Because it is just north of the Antarctic Circle (66.5 degrees South), it never experiences total winter darkness. Instead, they enjoy brilliant sunsets and sunrises throughout the winter.

The NBP is on a two-month science expedition to the Larsen B Embayment once occupied by a major ice shelf. In 2002, the ice shelf collapsed in a million pieces, leaving only a shard of the Larsen B Ice Shelf and a rapidly changed ecosystem in its wake. The ice shelf had been in place for at least 10,000 years. Read more about this science expedition in The Antarctic Sun's "Change of Plans" - January 15, 2010: DAY7DAY7
