10 for Antarctica....
My obsession with Antarctica:
1. I love the weather
2. the shape is errotic
3. Now I discovered that a group called the Malchezadec Domaine has possession of part of our south pole
4. I am getting small stories about this cold foreboding place
5. there are Emperor Penguins who spend the entire winter huddled together in the most brutal of environments sitting on eggs
6. I saw an ice fish photo on Wikipedia, talk about adaptation!
7. The ice shelfs are melting...melting
8. the USA doesn't own an inche of the island
9. there are laws in place to protect the wild life
10 because it's so cold, we are talking 180 below zero, humans are not there much either.
11. okay I went one more....there are no lights on there during the night either. It's too cold.
So I probably convinced all of you to become obsessed with this lovely island as well. I love looking on the weatherunderground site to see what their temperature is. It's spring there and the temps in some areas are up to 40 degrees! whoa a heat wave!Jai, packing her bags to move to Antarctica...the land of her dreams
