Darling Norman was there

I think this also happened in 1999.
And 2001.
And 2003.
And twice in 2010.

Did it have something to do with a Husky dog appearing out of nowhere and chased by some foreigner shouting and shooting at it?
And here I thought global warming had already melted all ice. Isn’t it 2010 yet? Algor said so.
Here a documentary of what it is like there: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365929/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_18
I hope they are successful and the explorers will get the treatment they need.
God bless the flight crew and sick researchers who need to be evacuated. I could never in this lifetime even imagine ‘overwintering’ in Antarctica. Not sure I could handle their summer, either! It’s sure not on the bucket list, but we have to appreciate the people to heed that call, and the work they do. I’m wishing them a safe flight.
Holy cow. I hope that they can be rescued in time.
I think it was on Netflix that I recently watched a piece about wintering at the South Pole.
I’d definitely like to go from late spring to early fall. Come winter though, and I’d be out of there.
God Speed those rescuers efforts.
Gonna be very difficult if not impossible. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica occurred earlier in the week.
I remember a Russian doctor in similar circumstances at a Russian Antarctic station having to remove his own appendix using local anesthetic and mirrors
The brutal cold and total darkness that blankets Antarctica during the austral winter make flights in and out of the station all but impossible.”
I call BULLS^&%, With all the Global Warming going on, we KNOW there is NO ICE and the Planet is on Fire. Just ask AlGore,Bill Nye,James Hansen,Hillary,Obama,.....
