How Do People Live Where the Sun Doesn’t Rise for Months?

At Concordia research station, the Sun can stay below the horizon for months. Using the 2024 winter as our main frame, we examine the routines, meals, water systems, work and social life that make an ordinary day possible in an extraordinary place. Earlier winter accounts are identified separately. Original illustrations and synthetic narration. These are explanatory reconstructions, not archival footage or recordings of eyewitnesses. 00:00 Waking without sunrise 01:50 A day without the usual cue 04:15 Work and meals 06:49 The systems beneath daily life 10:03 Isolation and the small community 13:40 The changing sky
