Antarctica

[sorvju-f]

Two more weeks and it is time to move some of us to new great environment, Antarctica!

I myself am waiting this a lot as it starts to be difficult to find something new to make fotos/videos. It will be heavy trip as taking huge time before getting UW, but i feel it is worth it.

This time there will not be online reporting due to nonconnection. Some mails is possible to send ( satellite) and if nothing else I hope Jonathan is arranging somebody to move messages to our photochat. We will stop also couple of days in Ushuaia ( town of our departure ) both end of the trip, where I think we have some connection to send some pics and reports. There is some plans to dive also in Ushuaia.

Those who have interest some info of our trip can be seen from next link:

Let see!

That is going to be some nice ice!

Have a excellent adventure to all of you!

[Daniel]

Have a safe and fun-filled trip... and remember to behave yourselves. Problem passengers are often abandoned on ice-cakes.

[Ken Hawk]

Have a great trip guys, looking forward to what you come up with.

I will just have to suffer another Red Sea trip on the 24 Feb

I was thinking about the issue of reporting back here, and I think you will all just have to wait. We can post a little from Ushuaia when we arrive and a little when we return. But I'll be sure to write something up and Jukka and I will be sure to post lots of pics.

According material I have gotten from Oceanwide expeditions we can receive and send e-mails trough satellite...costing EUR 2,5 per message and no attachments. There is satelite connection which depends on weather and satelite coverage.

I think that we can send mails to somebody, who will move them to UWP-chat like reports...but sorry no pics during the expedition...only from Ushuaia.

Maybe we should make Pierre relay the messages, just to torture him?

That's good idea...can we really trust him ...EUR 2,5 per message

We just need to make them LONG messages to get our money's worth. It's expensive because they send them via Satellite phone.
