Travels with Harriet: Antarctica

Aboard ship with tabular icebergs

Antarctica: remote, inhospitable and alluring.

I didn’t want to spend a winter in a stone hut eating boot leather and penguins, as stranded whalers had to do, or slogging over chunky ice pulling a boat full of supplies, like the Shackelton expedition, but I did want to walk where they walked and see what they saw.

These are my impressions.
