Liz- it has been really nice meeting & getting to know you at ShareFair!! I eagerly await your journals and photos.
I know the South Pole is pretty devoid of non-human life (though a South Polar Skua has been observed there flying over, probably wondering where the heck the Southern Ocean was!!), but keep an eye out for neat birds in your comings and goings down south, will 'ya?
Thanks, & best- Bill
