Smelly bums

If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it. - Andrew Denton

After we were done filling up the smelly tonight, the sun/sky/moon was so pretty that two of us decided to somme stay outside for a bit and just let it all sink in. We just lay there on the ice like bums, staring at the awesomeness around us. Kinda makes you think, how priviledged am I to be able to experience this - Antarctica in all its glory.. How many people have dreamed of being here, and here I am, a 24year old 'kid', getting to experience Antarctica for a year.

I love how we will never be able to present this place with a pink ribbon tied around it, nope, its just raw untamed nature. It will definitely not adapt to you, and if you don't adapt, you simply won't make it. Nothing is easy, so things that don't count (like me Mommy always says) don't matter any more, petty things needed for society to "work" isn't needed here, and you can be who and whatever you want to be, nobody minds.. The best part of all is, here you can actually stop and look around, appreciate the beauty of what surrounds you, the uniqueness of each sunrise or sunset - we only have a few left, so drink it in while you can, enjoy every moment as it presents itself.. Isn't that how our everyday life should be like?

Simply, life here is beyond awesome!
