Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station (USA)
☀️ The high today is a blistering -25°C with the sun circling overhead. While that sounds cold, it’s actually a beautiful "summer" day at the Pole. Winds are calm, and visibility is infinite across the polar plateau. Remember, you’re at nearly 3,000 m} of effective altitude, so take it slow! 📍
