Is anyone interested in a trip to Antarctica ? Kind of something I've always wanted to do.
Has anyone already gone ?

i seen some pics and a few tv shows about it
looks really, really, cold
i would advize to dress warm
do ya get to go play with the penguins ? : )
sadly i dont know if they are friendly or not
i have been told i should never give a bear a bear hug, i thought they would like it
it is a hug named after them after all : )
best wishes on your travel

Almost went in the late 80's, didn't. I would have had the support of the US military. Still, I declined.

There are some pretty interesting blogs available to read by people on the ice.
Interesting is an understatement.

Antarctica is the 'frontier' and filled with myth and awe.
The reality (from the blogs I've read) is very different.

Its a desolate place and cutoff from everything you are familiar with.
Things you take for granted now are unfulfilled dreams on the ice.
Little things take on a whole new importance.

People decline "winter over" (May-October) for a reason.
Its desolation on a scale most people can't imagine.
Most of the time there is no help if you need it.
You get hurt or sick, yer screwed.

The isolation will play with your mind but the environment will kill you.
Reading blogs from people who are there for summer is very different from reading blogs from those who winter over.
Plus, the blogs change as winter progresses.

I would go off into space before I would winter over at Antarctica.
