Space Weather Monitoring on the Antarctic Plateau 2013

Are there any physical changes that you endured since you were at the South Pole Station, which is 9,603 feet above sea level. ---Devon Geib, OC High School

Your body also goes through changes acclimating to the environment ... your brain swells to acclimate to high altitudes. Before I went to Antarctica I rarely remembered my dreams. I came back home nearly a month ago, and I now have vivid dreams that I remember on a regular basis. It was a change I noticed at the South Pole but it's something that continues with me today.
