I want to go to Antarctica

How do I get there?



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

Pay a shed load of money and join a tour/cruise. And then pay more and get yourself to the Falklands or somewhere near there. For some of the prices I've seen quoted you'd be cheaper buying your own boat and doing it yourself!

Ange, I hate to sound like a boring broken record but is this a sensible plan or a mania induced one?



Always seem to get things just that little bit wrong.

As far as I know, people usually go to Argentina and then fly to its most southern point and take a cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula, or they can go to New Zealand or Australia and take a flight over Antarctica and possibly a cruise. I know people who have travelled to Antarctica via Argentina.

So this is what I miss out on by having unipolar depression. Me want mania!

Anyways, the temps here got to something like 90F. Would much prefer Antarctica.

Maybe that’s why they chose me, beacuase I am so adventurous! And it is wonderful because it is achievable and not jst a silly idea, I’ve wanted to go for aaaaages! Monnee monnee monneee.. I know the cameras will be there too but if millions ofpeople can live vicariously through me then that’s amazing and that’s why I’m going to do it regardless!
I just follow the stories in my head...

Turn south and keep walking until you see penguins.

If you see tourists then you've hit a zoo and not gone far enough.

People build snow cats, dogs, penguins... and make snow angels... the possibilities are endless.
