Frozen in Time: The Eternal Silence of Mt. Tidd in Antarctica's Pirrit Hills!

The Byrd Center Holiday card: an image of a mountain covered with snow with trees and tents at the base under blue sky and white clouds with a bow at the top left edge of the framed image with garland at bottom, under the image.

This year, to commemorate the Polar Rock Repository's 20th anniversary,  we selected the image of Mt. Tidd in Antarctica's Pirrit Hills for our Season's Greetings. The image was contributed by Associate Professor John Stone of the University of Washington, who gave special permission to embellish the image, adding a holiday spirit to this extraordinary piece of Earth's history.
