I think that would make a great article, or story, or essay, or something. Father and Son go to Antarctica on a boat, looking for...what exactly...ice? Hm. Makes me want to watch John Carpenter's finest movie, the Thing.Condimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810467235358163173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1139407273472467622006-02-08T06:01:00.000-08:002006-02-08T06:01:00.000-08:00Something amazingly beautiful yet foreboding in th...Something amazingly beautiful yet foreboding in that type of landscape. The recent film, March of the Penguins, had me thinking about cold climates: icy blue beauty but also potentially deadly as the two guys filming get lost for 5 hrs or so in a storm even though they are less than a mile away from camp.Counterintuitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137134752919050468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1139360298936530792006-02-07T16:58:00.000-08:002006-02-07T16:58:00.000-08:00Oh an no fair writing such a poetic post in the SW...Oh an no fair writing such a poetic post in the SWC!Clint Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534333959460032669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1139360212577019792006-02-07T16:56:00.000-08:002006-02-07T16:56:00.000-08:00I share your poetic sensibilty with snowy climes. ...I share your poetic sensibilty with snowy climes. If winter were free, I'd wish we had it all year round. As it is winter pinches my Scottish heart (pocketbook) so I despise it. My liking of darkness, cold and snowing does have something to do with my genetics, I think: Scoto-norwegian, mostly. <BR/><BR/>I would have accompanied Amundson on his Antartic expedition. I would have scoffed at Scott and his silly English ways.Clint Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534333959460032669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11240270.post-1139359628810458592006-02-07T16:47:00.000-08:002006-02-07T16:47:00.000-08:00I too am obsessed with exploration.

It's called "Ice." <BR/>Did you see the IMAX about Antartica? There was footage from people diving into icebergs. It was so cool.Dr. Writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780082464342367471noreply@blogger.com
