Loving the updates on FB and reflection here. If you do a talk about this unforgettable experience, I’d be thrilled, esp if it were on Zoom. The pictures and annotations are beautiful and fascinating!
I did that in Egypt too. Photos often just don’t quite capture just how unbelievably amazing things are. Still can’t wait to see them. I had no idea ice bergs rotated like that. I keep using amazing but it fits.
Everything is on such a massive scale. It’s often hard to grasp the size of things, which is why I’ve taken to including people or zodiacs in my ohotos.
Do you feel hopeful or positive about our planet while visiting the South Pole? Are there any indications a lay person would notice indicating climate change is accelerating?
Well, I know we’re going to be hearing later in the trip about ice that should be there and isn’t. It’s sobering. We’ve already had some thorough scientific presentations of a lot of climate data. Generally, I’m worried and sad. And believe me I know that, cool as this ship is, it’s using diesel to get us the 6,500 miles of our journey.

I'd love to do a Zoom talk. I think when my paperback of Terra Nova comes out, this experience will surely be something I want to share more about!

Hearing this is mind-blowing, so I can only imagine how you must be feeling Henriette!
If it doesn't sound too melodramatic, I think I am forever changed by this experience.
I don’t think it’s melodramatic! People use the expression ‘“life-changing” too much I think, but what you’re experiencing really is.
Amazing can’t wait to hear more. Really makes on feel pretty small even just hearing about it. Have a great time

I can only imagine how amazing this trip is, Henriette -- can't wait to hear more.
I truthfully am often in open-mouthed awe. And I often tell myself I can’t believe I’m finally here. My childhood dream!
Also, running is very interesting on a ship!
