The galley scroll is the information hub of South Pole Station. The most important information is displayed here. Flights in and out of the Pole, weather, rec opportunities, and most importantly… satellite time. You can only connect to the internet during the time. This defines the rhythm of the day. Right now the satellite goes up at 0230. Now that detractor construction activities are over you see many scientists catching up with email in the early morning hours. The green bars show the satellite up time.
There are more flights between MCM (McMurdo) and NPX (South Pole) than between Madison and Chicago!?!
