The Milky Way above the glaciology shelter. The incredible stability of the atmosphere, low humidity, stable weather and absence of parasite light makes Dome C the best astronomical observatory on Earth.

The Milky Way seen over the 180° horizon of the Dome C sky. The camera equipped with an 8mm fisheye lens was fixed to a telescope to allow for a few minutes of exposure. The telescope is visible on the upper left of the image and the band next to it is a faint aurora. The two white blurs are the Magellanic clouds. The dark area on the Milky way is called the Coal Sack and is a typical southern hemisphere feature, quite visible to the naked eye. The reddish lower part is light from the sun, still way bellow the horizon but shining nonetheless.
