Antarctic in Pink

Antarctic researchers captured sublime images of pink skies over the frozen landscape brought on by Tonga’s record volcanic eruption in mid-January.

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano spewed an enormous number of fine particles high into the stratosphere, resulting in vivid sunsets in parts of Australia and New Zealand.

The effect in the near-perpetual winter twilight of Antarctica’s Scott Base and McMurdo Station has created a fiery hue over the ice, even at noon.
