The skies above Antarctica are burning a fiery pink, which is thought to be as a result of the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption in January 2022.

Similar hues have dazzled other regions in the Southern Hemisphere during July, including New Zealand and Australia. Antarctica is in a state of near-constant twilight in July, as it is just past the midwinter in the Southern Hemisphere, so Antarctic scientists see these sunset-like colors at about midday.
