The Australian Antarctic Magazine ceased production in June 2020 and has been replaced by an in-depth, interactive feature series Explore Antarctica. You can also keep up to date with the latest news from the Australian Antarctic Program with our online newsletter Antarctic Insider.

About the cover

Ice crystals growing on a window of the Wilkes Hilton hut at old Wilkes station, near Casey. The photo was taken in mid-winter when the sun was at its lowest in the sky. The yellow glow is from the rising sun reflected in the window. Photograph taken by Chris Wilson.
