That's amazing! I'm sure there's loads of family stories?! Fun fact, I work at an archive and recently researched Amundsen's North Pole expedition and the flying boat he used, very impressive story despite them failing to reach the pole!

Amundsen, the one that succeded in the race to the South Pole lived by a great motto: You only need good luck if you didn't plan properly. He was a true adventurer with a sharp mind, shame he disappeared on a rescue mission.
The sled dogs were eaten too, if I remember correctly.
I'm always so sad seeing the Scott expedition photos knowing that these guys in this image were doomed. THe British crew would have felt so horrible spotting the Norwegian flag at the South Pole, after what they went through. I've read the accounts and went through these beautiful images, it's so harrowing to know their fate.
Wait till you find out there's colors other than green :) Seriously, I love all the pastel colored ones, they remind me of candy!
While I hated these repetitive comments on reddit, I actually think this obe is a most welcome tradition to post under any and all Trump posts - just this one, single comment and nothing else.
Yup and they gave a large archive too! Other recommendations: Nothing much happens, and Boring books for bedtime.
Interesting, I've only ever seen the deeper boreholes!
Well this is interesting! What is it?
Oh my god same! I'm prone to allergies so I figured it came from the pressure changing upon decent decent but I would have freaked out if I hadn't known what it was! Hurt like a bitch, I could even feel my tear ducts pulsing!
Oh my god, yes! Less frustration, less anger at insignificant things, and I guess less "cunty" overall which is the most important benefit for me. Just like you, I feel like a total asshole when I'm not medicated, and I don't like myself very much in these situations...
I seem to remember they found Scott's notes, as well as documentation, including photos (plates?) of them at Amundsen's abandoned tent when they found the bodies but can't find a source just now.
