What better place to spend the longest day of the year than on the continent where the summer sun doesn’t set?
Summer solstice at the drill site 5072_1 fell on 21 December. 24-hr sunlight is useful for 24-hr operations, but takes some getting used to - and some heavy-duty eye masks to help get a good “night’s” sleep!
We were treated to some blue skies and stunning clouds, and even a sun halo, caused by the sun shining through ice crystals in the atmosphere.
