Lühike Antarktika suvi on läbi saamas. Külma haare ümber valge kontinendi tugevneb taas. Päike libiseb horisondi taha peitu ja taevasse tekivad taas külmale nii omased ehavalguse sinakas-lillakad toonid. Hääletult seisavad värvikirevad barakid Novo lennurajal andes erksamat tooni siinsele lõputule valgele. Täielikku vaikust häirib üksnes diiselgeneraatori lakkamatu mürin, mis nii olulist energiat siin töötavaile inimhingedele annab.
Brief Antarctic summer is coming to an end. Hold of cold around the white continent is strengthening again. Sun slides to hide away below the horizon. Low light of dusk brings out bluish-magenta tones of midnight sky which emphasises and reminds arrival of freezing temperatures. Soundlessly nicely painted barracks are standing at Novo airstrip giving some extra color in this endless white. The absolute silence is only disturbed by the nonstop noise of diesel generator, giving so valuable energy for those are working here.
