Thanks for posting this interesting piece. Most of us will never get the chance to see this ourselves.

There is an interesting book: “By the Seat of My Pants” by Dean C. Smith. He was a pilot on one of Admiral Richard Byrd’s Antarctic expeditions around 1929, when they were first to fly over the South Pole. According to Smith, Byrd was a pilot (naval aviator), but not a very good one. They didn’t get along. I had a friend who also knew Byrd up on the coast of Maine, where he was regarded as a sort of lovable eccentric. But he did a great deal to open up Antarctica to exploration.

‘Admiral Richard Byrd’

Have the Mastodons ever been found that they saw?

Be warned though, global warming is beginning to take its toll and the 100-year-old seal blubber which had been in deep freeze has begun to smell “quite rancid.”

Does the data show that Antarctica has been warming in recent years?

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Lurker. Modern history, but I think it's pingworthy. :') doesn’t have a permanent population, there are on average 2,500 people living there during the year -- approximately 4000 in summer and 1000 incredibly hardy ones in winter... at least 268 people have died there since humanity first decided it was a good place to visit. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. GGG managers are SunkenCiv, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach

If you look underneath the city of Bouvetøya there is an alien temple. ;)

Thanks. That was fascinating.

What a wonderful post.

Thank you.

I did my grade 6 science project on the Scott Expedition.

I only received an -A because I used Contact Cement to glue the pictures in.

The teacher said reading it gave her a headache.
