To be honest, having had the opportunity of working in Antarctica twice, I did think about conquering the opposite.
Opportunities don t wait.
It won t be easy. I already know that from the 13-hour maiden voyage I joined from Norfolk to Baltimore on March 21. I m thinking South Pole Station all over again. I m reminded of the similarities of remote and isolated living conditions from my years in Africa, to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and now the Icebreaker Healy in the Arctic. On the morning of April 21, I will begin my first of 5 flights and one ground transport direct to Nuuk, Greenland via Iceland to arrive the night of April 22 weather permitting.
