The sun is visible for the first time in 6 months on September 21st as it is rising behind the Ice Cube Neutrino Laboratory counting house

Now that the sun is up we can see all of the drifting and the sastrugi that we were tripping over in the dark. drifting at the Martin Pomeranz Observatory(MAPO) Kiwi Paul leaving DSL frosted exhaust vents from boiler DSL and SPT DSL deck snow-1 DSL deck snow-2 DSL roof

For the sunrise celebration, both of my bands, the rock band and the Irish band played for the Polies. Our first rock song was "Here Comes the Sun" written by the Beatles. The following week Tim set up a recoding studio and each musician recorded tracks for some of our songs.
