This list will get pinned so it's easy for people to find when they're interested in reading about or travelling to the poles. I'll include a little summary and why it's great, so start posting! -------------------- Jess' Travelogue Jess' Website: publications, upcoming travel etc.

I could write about my experiences with the Shackleton crew... A penguin taught me french in antarctica once also, that was cool! -------------------- MacK the Knife "When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep" - Gibran

Or, for a competely different take, this from someone who spent a few seasons down there. -------------------- Dave Click the blog

If by any chance you are interested in Svalbard... http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/beagui/6/tpod.html

Looks very dodgy though, between dissapearing under the ice, almost going with an avalanche, and looking for polar bears... -------------------- A day back around the world « Sans curiosité on meurt et sans courage on ne vit pas. » [ Hugo Pratt ]

To be honest I think its overrated. I was asked to work down there next month, but turned it down. I worked on Mc Murdo station, an American base on NZ claimed soil. I did post a blog, however I deleted it since then. -------------------- Brazil to Mexico, a donkey show is what!
