Journal
entry #16 "I have never seen such sights. The vastness, the loveliness,
the starkness of the Arctic Ocean is indescribable."
Journal
entry #22 "Bitterly cold wind today, but I was able to keep warm and enjoy
the incredible Antarctic landscape. At one point the blowing snow blended
perfectly with the clouds in the distance, creating the impression that
the land and the sky were one.
It was stunning."
Journal
entry # 12 "Today we encountered lead after lead after lead. It seemed
that the they were acting as guards, only allowing passage
to those willing to search endlessly for a route through
the maze."
Journal
entry # 5 "The best part of the evening is sitting next to the stove calculating
our position. It is amazing how much we can drift during the course
of a day. Today we drifted several miles
to the east."
Client
tip #4 "It's going to be
one of the best memories of your life. But believe everything you are
told about the cold...at the Pole it is freezing plus! Follow the clothing
- gloves and boots recommendations especially -
to a "T". They know! There is
no tolerance for "tough guys."
Client
tip # 8 "Be prepared - take matters seriously, but enjoy yourself.
For me the shakedown trip and the expedition gave me the opportunity
to escape my world and live a dream. I was in a
land of no phones, no faxes, no
business emergencies - a cold heaven. Based on the trip
I was able to readjust some personal values which have improved my life."
