I'm going to take a guess and say that you are the only person on MB, past or present, who has ever been to Antarctica. To have visited what is one of the least hospitable areas on the planet is super-impressive.

I haven't been there myself, but I was for some time immersed in Apsley Cherry-Garrard's accurately titled books about his own journey there:



This was the 1911- 1912 expedition in which Captain Scott died just a mile or so from his life-saving stores. Before that, in an extraordinary expedition side trip, Apsley C-G and two others went to visit an Emperor Penguin colony during egg-laying time (= the S Hemisphere winter) :-
Quote:
In almost total darkness, and with temperatures ranging from −40 to −77.5 °F (−40.0 to −60.8 °C), they man-hauled their sledge 60 miles from Scott's base at Cape Evans to the far side of Ross Island. The party had two sledges, but the poor surface of the ice due to the extremely low temperatures meant that they could not drag both sledges as intended during parts of the outward journey. They were thus forced to relay, moving one sledge a certain distance before returning for the other. This highly inefficient means of travelling – walking three miles for every one advanced – meant at times they could only travel a couple of miles each day.
Hoping your trip was a bit more comfortable, Celladorina !!

I'd just like to point out that you ladies now have enough for a coven, power-female trio: Celladorina, Ribbons and Marie Monday.

Beware the hex!
I said HEX! Honestly, you people....

Wow. That's impressive. What was that experience like?

The two coldest places I've visited probably pale in comparison. I once got frostbite in -50 Celsius as a kid. It actually was a fun day outside with family, minus that part. My cousins and I played football using chunks of ice on the ground.

At the second place, I had never felt wind chill like that. I was out on an airport tarmac, trying to help the pilot wrap up his plane so it wouldn't freeze. There was no hangar there, so he "parked" in a designated area off the runway. With all due respect to my fellow Packers fans, the frozen tundra does not exist in Green Bay's Lambeau field. Where I was (north of 60), is where the tundra lies.

I can remember either when you were going or when you came back? That was a long time ago! It must’ve been an incredible experience.

Cella, you should be specially featured in National Geographic for your Antarctica trip! That is amazing, and YOU are amazing and a very special person. Please tell us you saw many penguins up close!

Oh ****! How could I have forgotten my beautiful, clever and funny niece???
Doesn't sound the same though does it? "When shall we four meet again?"
But then, Fetcher being Scottish gives her the edge there.

Either way, any or all of you can hex me any time.
No, I think I said hex, but hey, I'm easy.
Very easy.

Don't even need to RTFM with me.

Um also WWWP and Boo and Chio etc? Maybe for the best (despite my love for ribbons and Cella) because this coven has too much male gaze upon it. We deserve better gals and pals
