Today marks the last Friday in May and our last extreme weather shot. We figured we’d go out with a bang, so we chose this photo, shot by Brian Nelson on Ross Island in Antarctica during the southern hemisphere’s springtime — August and September — after Nelson spent a year at McMurdo Research Station. “Though extremely beautiful, these clouds act as a catalyst in the destruction of ozone by chloroflourocarbons, creating the seasonal ozone hole over the Antarctic,” says Nelson.

Thanks to Mountain Hardwear for hooking this month’s winners up with either a men’s Mountain Hardwear Threshold Tee or a women’s Mountain Hardwear Conditioning Tee. We’ll be choosing our grand prize winner next week who will score a Mountain Hardwear Stimulus Jacket.
