"No person who has not spent a period of his life in those 'stark and sullen solitudes that sentinel the Pole' will understand fully what trees and flowers, sun-flecked turf and running streams mean to the soul of man"

Fun at Carvajal
We went skiing.
Snowboarding.
Blow hole inspecting roped up in true Antarctic fashion.
Ice climbing 100 meters above sea level, centimetres that is.
Both Drew and I read a book ,Fatal Passage,that I will highly recommend, which is about John Rea a famous Scottish Arctic explorer who found the lost Franklin expedition who were looking for the North West Passage. In the book he describes how he survived by building igloos, so we gave it a try there were a few holes in it but wasn't structurally sound as the wind blew it down that night.
