Taking Weather Obs At The Bottom of The World
Posted by Dan Satterfield
I took this shot of Ann Posegate in Antarctica.
Ann Posegate, my travel partner to the Pole last January, has a fantastic piece in Weatherwise magazine this month.
It’s all about the difficulties of taking weather observations and forecasting in Antarctica.
Highly Recommended!

I never look at an ob from down there without thinking of the people who are there..
Later,
