Are there any physical changes that you endured since you were at the South Pole Station, which is 9,603 feet above sea level. ---Devon Geib, OC High School

Your body also goes through changes acclimating to the environment ... your brain swells to acclimate to high altitudes. Before I went to Antarctica I rarely remembered my dreams. I came back home nearly a month ago, and I now have vivid dreams that I remember on a regular basis. It was a change I noticed at the South Pole but it's something that continues with me today.
