An incredible quest with a simple question

A team is heading down to Antarctica to make a 2,000 mile transit in Winter. Never been done before and the team is incredible starting with Sir Ranulph Fiennes (climbed Everest at age 65). They are leaving December 6th. The simple question -- the Northern seasons are reversed from our antipodal friends -- it is fading into Winter up here but it is burgeoning into Spring down there. A minor nit but... Looks like an awesome adventure and it is a worthy challenge -- I will be following these intrepids. Posted by DaveH at September 24, 2012 10:22 PM
