If you find yourself in Qaanaaq, Greenland, may I humbly suggest contacting Finn Hansen. He has
lived in Qaanaaq for ~25 years, most of that time as a hunter, and now has a small business providing dogsled
and boat trips for visitors. He has an extensive knowledge about the natural and human history of the area,
and his hospitality is considerable. Good people. |

Joan Myers was the photographer-in-residence during the 2002-03 season, under a grant from NSF. She had THE BEST job on the continent, and went literally everywhere down here. She has written a book called "Wondrous Cold" and it is available now at your local bookseller. |

A very irreverent page of stories and commentary on life
in Antarctica….written by a small cast of McMurdo and South Pole residents, who until recently remained nameless
for obvious reasons. Nick Johnson, the proprietor of the site, has now come out with a book of the
same name, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a glimpse the strange reality life on the ice. |

Antarctica site made by Guillaume Dargaud. I don't know him, but I stumbled upon his site and enjoyed it
quite a bit. He's worked at Dumont d'Urville and Terra Nova Bay, and has even spent a few days at lovely McMurdo. He also has a nice concise
review of McMurdo....it's interesing to hear a perspective of this place from an outsider. This fellow's site is large,
extensive, and quite interesting. |

This is an excellent site about the South Pole station. There is a wealth of interesting info and
history from the earliest days of the station through the present. Bill keeps it updated pretty regularly with news of
goings-on at the Pole. He returned to Pole for winter 2005...18 years after his first winter there. |

Another first-rate site from Bill (who has also spent a lot of time at Palmer). It is
full of facts, stories, trivia, history, and current goings-on at Palmer. |

I got an email one day from Joe, the webmaster of this site, about an aircraft I had mistakenly identified
on my site. I followed a link to his site and it too is an excellent place to visit. This site details the history
of the old Navy squadron, VXE-6, which did the flying down here from Deep Freeze I through the 1990's. |
