Must agree definitely worth a visit. Place is just amazing. Huge icebergs looks so powerful.

I absolutely love this place — it was one of the best things I have ever seen. You’re right about the noise as the ice falls into the water — such loud creaking and groaning!
Thanks for bringing back memories — Abi

@Jules @ Lovely Las Vegas — Wow! See, just for the experience you had, I wish I had taken sciences a bit more seriously instead of fooling around studying Chinese. You are the first person I know who have been to Antactica, I wish I had a special award to give you!

The stamp thing does make sense I guess. I had heard that it was possible to get an Antarctica stamp but I have no idea how/ where.

@Agnes — It is amazing!

@Max Coutinho — Me too, I´m more made of fire but I must say this one blew me away.

@Khengsiong — This glacier is actually the anti-global warming since it is progressing fast (2 meters a year I think).

Hey Zhu: I actually landed in Antarctica on New Year’s Eve 1999 — so I rang in the New Year/Millenium there at the Kiwi Station — Scott Base. However, I mostly spent my time at McMurdo Station (a US base), Scott Base, and out in the field working in the Dry Valleys. Too busy being a science geek, I guess — I didn’t have the opportunity to go to the South Pole. It would have been especially awesome on New Years because it would mean 24 hours of celebrating, no? Hehe.

As for the passport stamping. I only got it stamped in New Zealand. Antarctica is technically not a country (no one own’s it — because of the International Treaties) — so everyone who goes there has their passport stamped at the embarking point (e.g., Chile or NZ, unless they are nationals, of course, of those countries). At least that would be my understanding since I got stamped in Auckland. There wasn’t a customs for me in Antarctica.

You should try to get down to the Ice — there are Artists in Residence and, at least at McMurdo, a lot of support personal (e.g., chefs, crews to assist with everything, cleaning). Maybe the Canadian or French Stations need a Chinese-French-Spanish speaking woman on their staff ; ). Buenas suertes.
