I was listening to one of my podcasts from Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio National The Bookshow (abc.net.au/rn/bookshow) and heard a really interesting interview with Jason Anthony who has spent 8 seasons at McMurdo station and while there at increasingly remote places to work on airstrips, for example.
Here is a link to his website with beautiful pictures and interesting stories.
And here is an article by Jason Anthony about Antarctica, global warming, and what it will mean for Antarctica, with many interesting thoughts about Antarctica. You cannot read the whole article without subscribing to the Virginia Quarterly review, but what's there is interesting enough.

About Me
- MarjanNZ
- Background in computing and history. Emigrated from The Netherlands to New Zealand. I love the peace and quiet and natural beauty, but miss European cities and culture. The latter prompts me to shamefully pollute the world with long distance flights, while at home I recycle everything I possibly can.

prachtig! wat een genieterig rijke taal wordt hier geschreven! bij natuur en belevenissen waar een mens nietig en sprakeloos van wordt..
leuk om even contact te hebben, op deze dag (6/8 -in NL-) zonder gelijktijdig te raken.
Warme (30 gr.) groet vanuit Amersfoort..
In my latest National Geographic there was an article about the latest ideas scientists have to protect against global warming. A current idea is to float millions of discs out in space 1 million miles from Earth and about 92 million miles away from the Sun, the idea is that it will 'shade' Earth and lower temperature by 2 degrees!! Are they serious??
Yes I think they are serious. Just one of the schemes to do something to avoid disaster and maybe to avoid having to cut down on pollution or to stop driving large vehicles. Although some scientists say that such extreme schemes to lower temperature are just necessary stop gap measures to give the human population time to get their act together to diminish pollution. Otherwise it will be too late to do anything.
