Hi all:
 

I have been on a cruise to Antarctica and around Cape Horn for the last weeks. 
While I could read email, the ship wanted $4 per letter sent, so I did not get 
off many replies. But I noted the criticism of Kennitas efforts, and just wanted
to say I support her 100%.
 

I am now in Punto Arenas on the Straits of Magellan, in a reasonable Internet 
Cafe, but cannot find the apostrophe on the Chilean keyboard, so please forgive 
the lack when I write the possessive.
 

It is pretty here, about 60 degrees, somewhat old fashioned, and very safe and 
honest. (I dropped my camera in a taxi and the driver had it and gave it back 
when I found him.  Phew!)  
 

Antarctica is really awesome.  We see lots of pictures from bases on rock, but 
they are on the only rock you can find.  Everywhere ice and glaciers rear 200 ft
out of the sea, and ice covers all but the most vertical faces of the steep, 
forbidding mountains.  What a place to come in 1900, and try to make a base, 
cross the mountains and head for the Pole.    Too much ice even for a 
cryonicist.
 
Cheers,
 
Alan
