First leg of the journey: Doha to Paris. It was really really cold on the plane. Stayed wrapped in the blanket the whole way through. I can’t imagine what Antarctica’s going to be like, what the temperature ranges are year round.

I’m looking at my email now and I see this link from a friend of mine. Now this is one amazing adventure. She’s skiing and dog sledding all the way to the North Pole. Here’s another story.

The Australian Minister of the environment is talking about the Antarctic treaty (the one that will expire in 2041) and Antarctica in general. Running out of batteries. Every passing hour is starting to feel just a little bit colder.
