Onward to the South Pole!

On the 100-year anniversary of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole, his descendants are looking to try the trip themselves. And they want you to join them! Not you, maybe, but someone.

I'd love to give it a shot, but I'm afraid I'm just going to be too busy. This winter I'm going to be part of a group re-enacting the Donner Party's trip across the Sierra Nevadas. And after that, I'm booking a Trans-Atlantic flight on a newly-built model of the Hindenburg.
