Izzy in Antarctica @izzybluesky.bsky.social · 04/09/2025I frequently say that Antarctica has only two seasons: summer and winter. There is no spring or fall. Upon further reflection, this is true at the very Pole, but the northern coasts do experience a period where the sun rises and sets. These could be thought of as Antarctic "spring" and "fall" 080
