A Place with Only One Sunrise and One Sunset a Year

Despite the bone-chilling temperatures, the coldest places on Earth possess an otherworldly charm that captivate adventurous people.

Located at the southernmost point of the Earth, Amundsen-Scott Station is operated by the United States Antarctic Programme.

People who live and work at the station witness one sunrise and one sunset a year.

That’s six months of sunlight in the summer and six months of complete darkness in the winter!

Built in 1956, this station was named after pioneering explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert F. Scott.

It is 9,301 feet (2,835 m) above sea level and has freezing temperatures and unrelenting blizzards.

The coldest temperature recorded here was -117°F (-82.8°C) in June 1982. It was -12.3°C on Christmas Day in 2011.

With an average population of 150 researchers and support staff in the summer, the wintertime population drops to about 50 people.
