Cold, windy, lonely? Surely not, we went to Antarctica to hang out with friends on the beaches and go swimming :-)
http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/Antarctica/slide_30.htm Seriously, it was actually bright and sunny a lot of the time making the top half of the body quite warm, but your feet are usually standing in freezing water or in snow or on ice and are generally a lot colder. You need your sunglasses because you get a lot of reflection off the snow and ice. You can see us here bare-headed but rugged up more below that. http://www.chapelhill.homeip.net/Antarctica/slide_33.htm Kerry _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lyle Allan Sent: Tuesday, 14 January 2014 2:52 PM To: 'Wikimedia Australia Chapter' Subject: Re: [Wikimediaau-l] opportunity The Conversation today has this piece that anyone thinking of applying might like to look at. I've removed the pictures, so if you are interested go to The Conversation and look at the real thing. Scientists at work: stuck in the Antarctic ice we set out to study Antarctica is a desolate place. That much we know, but nothing prepares you for it until you actually get there. It's cold, windy and lonely. Everything about it is the exact opposite of my normal summer.
