I love seeing Halos and sun dogs. In case you are interested in the physics behind it there was a nice article writing about them in the UBC alumni newsletter. Check out page 6 at this link http://www.eos.ubc.ca/home/alumni/2011-Alumni%20Newsletter.pdf

The red coats which we call “Big Red” not only keep us warm but have great pockets to keep our batteries, chocolate bars and water bottles unfrozen.

I wish I could go to Antarctica, it’s the most fascinating place on earth IMO!

(Australia) Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:33:09 +0000 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/fromthefield/?p=2823#comment-18668 The image of Lora Koenig with parhelia behind her is quite stunning. Besides the obvious “sun-dogs”, it also clearly shows the 22° halo (circle), the parheliac arc (the curved line running through the sun and both parhelia), and a very faint upper tangent arc. It must be an amazing experience to witness such spectacular natural phenomena.

Dr. Koenig said the photo is of course in the public domain. You can find it here. Please be sure to include the proper crediting. Thanks! — Patrick Lynch

I’d love to read just what it’s like to BE in Antarctica, and what daily life is like there.
And if those coats do a good job of keeping the cold out…

Stay warm. :D
