Re: How We Got Six Men and Forty Dogs Across Antarctica
Interesting blog Cathy. And a reminder that a much warmer winter is just around the corner for us all. Your book should make it into Santa's bag for a good Christmas read.

Re: How We Got Six Men and Forty Dogs Across Antarctica
That sure looks like a remarkable and most unique adventure! My book is on order. I just love stories like this. I have to confess that while I don't mind being out in the cold, I hate never really getting warm, so I guess I don't have what it takes to be an Antarctic explorer.

Kirsten Hines continues her celebrating Nature on 7 Continents series with this second installment in exotic Antarctica.

Re: Antarctica's Amazing Danco Island! 1) The Scenery
Oddly, I’d only recently read the account of the Belgica expedition, of which Danko was a member. (Madhouse at the End of the Earth by Julian Sancton). Amundsen appears to have been one of the first ppl ever to climb the island’s peak.

Re: Passage through the Lemaire Channel, Antarctica
Daytime temps were just below freezing point, but in the evening when these photos were taken it was probably 20F (-5C), with cool wind gusts at times. Not bad considering where we were at.
