And at right you can see documentation by Cody Meyer that this photo has joined the infamous winterover photo collection in the main hallway. Above, here is the official midwinters greeting card that got sent around to the rest of the Antarctic stations as well as the rest of us. NSF posted a special news feature about this long-standing tradition... Barack Obama sent the traditional midwinters greeting letter from the White House. And the 2010 winterovers are: | |||

Sadly I must note here that physician assistant/nurse practitioner Emily Wilson passed away on 2 December 2016 after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Here is her obituary (840 kb). Here's the midwinter dinner menu, with an incredible border design by Matt Lee. The feast was held on Friday 18 June: Let's not be confused by this menu.Above, another classic winter photo, this of the FEMC crew, courtesy of James Travis III. This photo WAS taken near midwinter...Deb Travis clued me in that the windows were photoshopped in, as were Chuck and Rico. Great photo!
