Antarctica Calling

Within days the environment has changed dramatically; I am in Punta Arenas, Chile, waiting for a plane to Patriot Hills, Antarctica. This barren country, home to thousands of both chileans and other folk groups, is more or less the farthest you can go on mainland before hitting the ice capped continent to the south. Although the flight alone to PA took app 19 hours from Spain, it is still more than 3000km to our final destination. Puh... Contracting for ALE, I'm looking forward to 5-6 weeks on the ice, working with medical issues for clients and staff seeking a cold adventure. Currently the weather is to bad so we are shopping, socializing and sightseeing around PA. Today I bought a christmas gift that will be exchanged on christmas eve - our little way of keeping up the tradition...
