"If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it." - Andrew Denton

My Antarctic Anniversary

Me on Deception Island last December, looking at a nice up-close iceburg (that I later went swimming around)

A year ago today, I landed on Antarctica on Deception Island, up in the peninsula. A year ago today, my fascination/love/obsession with the ice began. What was supposed to be a fun vacation has turned into so much more- a true Antarctic adventure, that after all this time is still going strong.

  1. you're right-perhaps it was that 'polar plunge'. and to think, now you refer to the antarctic peninsula as 'up'. am very happy for you.
