Blogs from Antarctica, Antarctica - page 3

It's New Year's Eve! During the night we were supposed to enter Bransfield Strait, which divides King George Island from Antarctic's Trinity Peninsula in the Palmer Archipelago. However, again there was too much ice, so we turned around in the night and are now sailing around King George Island on the ocean side. The captain hopes to backtrack and enter the strait from the opposite end. It's a grey day with patchy fog on relatively calm waters. Vi and I take a stroll outside before breakfast. It's about 1°C and quite pleasant, but we can't see much. We do, however, catch sight of a series of whale plumes and some finned black backs in the distance. The truth is that it has turned into a rather bland day. We are out of sight of visible land ... read more

12th December 2012, Excited about the trip ahead, Ushuaia, Argentina One of the reasons that I have time to write a blog is that I have reached the end of the world, Ushuaia in Argentina to be precise. Its the most southerly town in the world and isn’t itself amazing, its essentially a lot of shades of grey with some none-to-impressive buildings, a chilly wind and rain that seems to be guaranteed almost every day. The title ‘end of the world’ therefore seems quite fitting! However, the town is blessed with snow covered mountains in the background and has the beautiful Tierra del Fuego national park on its door step which has been great to walk in. The main reasons for travelers coming here though is that this is often the end point of a continent ... read more

tijdens mijn reis in Las Vegas wilde ik heel graag iets spannends doen alleen wist ik niet wat . na lang denken en informatie kwam ik erachter wat ik wilde! ik wou een helikoptervlucht maken boven de Grand Canyon een geweldig hotel waar ik zelf ook verbleef. eigenlijk durfde ik de vlucht helemaal niet te maken , maar toen dacht ik misschien zal ik hier wel nooit meer zijn. dus ik besloot om de vlucht alsnog te maken. ik was de hele week zenuwachtig! toen het eindelijk zaterdag was had ik er heel veel zin in . voordat ik de helikopter inging kreeg ik een koptelefoon en een soort van microfoontje . ik stapte in en mijn hart begon harder te kloppen! toen stegen we op toen voelde ik een kick en het was GEWELDIG! het ... read more

Deep, down in the vacuous, cold winds of Terra Australis, there lies a land, mysterious as it is cold. Hyperbole is the grand fashion for this “Lady in White.” After all, she is the coldest, driest, windiest, highest (average elevation) continent on Earth. Approx. 98% of her landmass is covered by ice sheets, averaging 1 mile thick, contributing to 90% of the world’s ice. Her ancient tundra has not always been isolated. Almost 170 million years ago, she was a part of the supercontinent, Gondwana, drifting down from the northern hemisphere. Time cannot separate the ancient lineage of memory, in existence with her Gondwanian counterparts: Australia, New Zealand, Africa & South America. Her holographic memory of the universe resides in every cold inch of her vast ice fields of existence. Antarctica remained unconscious to modern civilization ... read more

Overall, the person who has helped me the most is my advisor, Ms.Rosales, shehas always been there for me when I have needed anything, or just when I needed to talk, she always was on my side when she felt I was treated unfairly and pushed for me to be treatedunfairly.
