Being stranded in Antarctica because your cruise ship ran aground has got to be Worst Case Senario, right? Well, at least they aren't huddled on the beach attempting to build fires with ice blocks, because that's what I pictured when I read the headline

I would say it's summer there, but I don't think it is ever 'summer' on the poles. They just have periods of less cold...
Posted by 10lees at January 31, 2007 07:45 AMthe greater question is WHY would you even want to go on a ship to Antarctica? That's my major question - that don't look like summer to me - yeah - the sun is shining - but that's about all - that looks dang cold. I know cold when I see it - and if the snow is not melting - it's cold.
I don't like cruise ships anyway - large and claustrophobic - my hubby is mad at me cause I don't EVER want to go on one. A train was enuf torment in my mind - give me a road trip anytime.

I'd go to Nome Alaska before going to the Antarctica - even Ft. Yukon in the summer is in the 100's sometimes. :)
