Episode 71: For the compass was true, though the sky was falling

With the end of winter drawing near, the residents of Amundsen-Scott Station find themselves standing at crossroads both personal and profound. New beginnings, looming departures, hidden feelings, and growing responsibilities challenge several familiar faces as the station prepares for the next chapter. As plans are made and futures come into focus, one truth becomes increasingly clear: sometimes the hardest journey isn't across the ice—it's deciding which direction your heart is pointing.90 Degrees South releases new episodes every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month.

They were on my face. In my defense, I was wearing them specifically so I could look for them more effectively. This is the sort of strategic thinking that explains many of history's great empires.
