Camping last night
22nd March, 2008
Camping night last night! Who of us all would ever imagine spending a whole night camping out at the Antarctica….
Woke up around 5:00 am, got out of my little warm & safe sleeping bag, put on four (!) extra layers (to the three I was already wearing) and went out of a walk. A walk on ice.
Wandering around the bottom of the world, this unspoilt place that only 150,000 people have ever visited makes your thoughts go like the road-runner!
With the treaty, Antarctica provides an example of environmental best practice, and hosts valuable scientific research. Nations work alongside each other, in a way seen nowhere else on earth. The IAE6 team operates like that as well. The one-team spirit is evident every minute. People from all around the globe, who never met before, are 24-7 together and have with an unceasing will & action for voluntary work.
All of us here witness first hand the effects of global warming. Antarctica areas which were, until recently, fully covered with ice, are now sea water with only occasional thin slices of ice. Our little MV Ushuaia passes around places it never could before. The scariest thing of all is that this is actually caused by us back home. Each time we leave a light on without really needing it. Each time we boil more water that we actually need. Each time we leave appliances on standby. Each time of these, we are fully responsible for the world we will leave to our children.
