  • La midwinter, ou Mid-Winter (litt. « Mi-hiver »), est une fête célébrée par le personnel des bases situées en Antarctique et dans les autres bases des Terres australes et antarctiques françaises (TAAF), notamment dans les îles du sud de l'océan Indien (comme Crozet, Kerguelen et Amsterdam), durant le 21 juin, au beau milieu de l'hiver austral. Non reconnue officiellement, elle est néanmoins très appréciée par le personnel hivernant. Celui-ci échange alors des vœux à destination des autres bases scientifiques. Cette festivité a donné son nom à un îlot de la terre Adélie. (fr)
