As commonly presumed, beards are required attire for Antarctica. I can now disprove this assumption.

You dont want to hear any more about the non existant luggage on which I unsuccesfully wasted my time today. Instead, how about a story about penguins? Having heard I won´t be working with them in Antarctica, I signed up for a tourist trip out to see ... Read more >
