NOAA South Pole Live Camera
Horizon and Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station taken every 15 minutes. "In order to preserve the life of the camera, it is tilted down onto the snow when the sun is in the field of view, which occurs for several weeks around sunset (March) and sunrise (September) when the sun marches in a circle above the horizon. From mid-April until mid-August the moon and the aurora australis provide the only natural lighting."
