Colour

Before leaving for Antarctica I was warned that you get tired of the constant white around you.  Admittedly when the sun shines for the whole day most of the surroundings is white.  However, when the sun starts moving lower, as winter approaches, the range and intensity of colours are breathtaking.  Sometimes the scenery is really so big and so beautiful that you can just sit and stare into it.  It also changes so quickly that you can almost get frantic in trying to absorb all of it.
