You're gonna LOVE this, Chief...

Google-earth south-pole

Try looking "NORTH" using the compass.  Lots of geotagged photos there as well.

Springtime in Seattle...  March comes in like a lion and out like a wet lion.

A man wants to build a building with all walls facing south.

How is that possible?

Must be named Santa

   Amazing!  One of my favorite books is called "Antarctic Command" and was written by Capt. Finn Ronne USNR.  The Ronne Arctice Expedition was in 1947-1948 studying the area around the Weddell Sea. Wikipedia has a list of the discoveries made on that expedition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronne_Antarctic_expedition
   I met him in 1964 and he signed the book. Now, I didn't really know what it was really all about as I was just under 10-years old.  It is a great book. I have read it more than 10 times. I would love to go to Antarctica and spend a winter.  :shock: ;) Then spend a winter at the North Pole.  :roll: #-o

    :grin: :grin: :grin:  By 2 weeks I would be probably, to say the least, a bit cranky!  Homicidal might be closer to the truth.  It's one of those things that sounds really neat but if you actually got there, it would not....ahh...live up to expectations!  You probably wouldn't want to be a neighbor.
