Antarctica -- October-November 2010

This was taken at 7:47 pm EST, which would probably have been equivalent to 10:47 pm in this time zone (if the ship had been operating on the true local time; I believe we stayed on Ushuaia time during the entire trip).

The temperatures were surprisingly not-super-cold throughout the Antarctic portion of the trip. They were probably in the 20s F both day and night. I suspect this was because the nights were so short. The sun was not below the horizon long enough for the temperature to drop much during the "night".

There were a few days where it FELT really cold. However, that was more due to wind and blowing snow, rather than the temperature actually being a lot lower those days.
