One week is very close… But I’m still finding it hard to imagine
that I will actually be going to Antarctica!
One of the first things
we do down there is Field Training, so I found this clip from Jason O’Hara (recent Antarctic
explorer!) very reassuring. Jason has just been down to Scott Base, and he
posted this clip called Happy homemaking on the ice. (Those 7 layers of sleeping bags do look toasty warm.)
Jason also has some other great posts from his trip on his blog,
including a Weddell seal filmed underwater, and a rendition of Purea
Nei by Warren Maxwell for
International Singing Day.
Now I’m off to do some packing. Or maybe to think about what
to pack. (At least I know I won't need to take any sleeping bags.)

I'm so excited about your trip to Antarctica. Can't wait to hear your stories. Keep an eye out for woolly mammoth tusks. :)
