Here’s a blog from a guy working in Antarctica that has continued to be really interesting and funny just discussing everyday stuff. Throw it in your rss reader for 1-3 entries a week. A taste about going to go fix some equipment on a hill next to their base:
Arrival Heights is higher than McMurdo and 40 knots of wind is the kind of breeze you rest on. I mean, literally. I put my back to the wind and leaned backwards on my heels without falling over in this dreamlike-blowing and floating state, until Bec said, “Are you keen to help me out?” Bec is from New Zealand, she says things like keen. On the drive up she said, “I’m glad you were keen on getting out.” And I asked her if she’d ever heard of the phrase “Peachy Keen.” She hadn’t. Doesn’t this seem weird? That’s kind of like saying you’re a fan of Quentin Tarantino without seeing Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction.
Anyways. Like I was saying.
