The sun peeked above the northern horizon briefly on 18 August at Ross Island. The sun had set in late April, bringing months of complete darkness to the winter residents of McMurdo Station. By late October the sun will remain above the horizon 24-hours a day until it once again dips below the horizon in late February.
