They call it “the coldest, driest, windiest place on earth.” The highest temperature ever on the continent of Antarctica was 59F. The lowest temperature was -129F Blizzards are common, though very little snow actually falls. In mid-summer the sun never sets. In mid-winter it never rises. Through November and December of 2010 I am privileged to serve as chaplain to the scientists and support personnel at McMurdo Station on Ross Island, situated at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
