First:I've never had the chance to go there, but I'd like to one day. As you say it is an amazing continent. I read everything I can find about it. It is so fragile but also so strong, some people just don't know what they are doing by threatening this precious continent!Did you work there? Please tell me more about it. I'd like to learn more, especially if it comes from soemone who had the chance to this all by himself.

Joan,

Delighted to get the chance to dredge up old memories of 'down south'. Briefly, I worked with the British Antarctic Survey overwintering at Stonington Island base
(Marguerite Bay area about half way down the peninsula)for two years in the early 70s. I was employed as a dog sledge driver in support of scientific field staff.

I'll send you more to your e-mail address to avoid cluttering up this thread.
