mcpenguin is a firefighter working down in Antarctica. He's usually at McMurdo Station but he got to go to the actual South Pole earlier this week and he'll be there for a month. He actually arrived there on the 95th anniversary, to the day, of the first human's (Roald Amundson) arrival at the pole. He'll be down there on the solstice and Christmas. How fucking cool is that?

And there is an actual pole at the South Pole. He kindly agreed to let me steal his picture to make an icon! Yay!

I love his LJ! Which I completely poached off you, so thanks :)

Isn't it fabulous?!
I'm so thrilled that he's got access to the internets still because I don't think I could go a month without my Antarctic voyeurism.
The South Fucking Pole!

That pole is now on the list of things to see before I die.

Start saving! It is $33,500 U.S. to go as a tourist! So you'll need over $100,000 if Simon wants to go too (I'm just assuming that you'll want to take me because Moose wants to go!)

Hmmmmm, we could sell our house.

And, of course we couldn't take hellbob because someone needs to stay home to look after the cats.

Well that, and the boy shows no interest in ever going to Antarctica. After I started reading Andre's journal I tried convincing Rick that we should apply for jobs there.

Silly boy! Doesn't he know it's worth going anywhere as long as we're there?

Ummm. I might not have told him that you are going, because I want to keep you guys all to myself!
I have lost faith in my friend's list. The South Pole generates more comments than hawt monkey sex... :(

I'm sure there's enough of us to go around if needed. :)

And you did say it only lasted 10 seconds.
