South Pole Station, Antarctica.     Two of the men who will "winter over" at the Pole.  In fact, these men were there this past summer (our summer, their winter) and should be finishing their tour there this month--November, 1960.  Frost forms on their beards in the forty below zero temperature of the South Pole summer.   Caption by Bill Nichols.  (Circa 1959)
