Nautical Views: dispatches from Antarctica

Ship's log: 9 March 2011 - Another pleasing performance awaits...

The pleasing performance of the last week was morphed into a melancholy monochrome mantra today. Deception gives away her secrets with a high meteorological tariff and this morning was no exception.

So at last here I am in Switzerland! The big race is on Sunday so I am spending the next few days getting in some last minute training. Today we skied the first half of the marathon course and I found some parts a little scarey - I can't imagine how i'm going to get down some of the steeper slopes with all the other 13,000 competitors jostling for position?! Tomorrow we are skiing the second half of the route which is apparently meant to be a little easier (I hope so!). The weather report is for...

Nautical Views: dispatches from Antarctica Day 8

Ship's log: 7 March 2011 - I type this as a procession of enlightened polar evangelists file past into dinner, with eyes glazed after yet another day which somehow superseded the previous one. Yet again the dusky clouds lifted and Cuverville was choked with cobalt castellations as well as gregarious Gentoos, including the Beckham and Brooklyn of the rookery who had to put up with the persistent, patient, penguin paparazzi.

Ship's log: 4 March 2011 - Decadent lie-ins are not de rigeur in these inhospitable waters. Rising at an indolent hour that Shackleton or Crean would have snorted at, revealed an ice-scape with a malevolent streak.

Clear skies paint a flawed canvas this far South. This is the most extreme area of the planet, where a strengthened hull is all that protects the traveller from the icy waters, waters today that had swell that would have even spilt Frank Worsley's tea. I...

Nautical Views: dispatches from Antarctica Day 6

Submitted by paulgoldstein on 3 March 2011 - 2:19pm.

Ship's log: 3 March 2011 - Long sea days are seldom rewarded so bounteously. By first light a posse of canary-clad seafarers were bristling buoyantly on the bow. An arc of cloud was slowly morphing from grey to nasturtium as an ambitious early sunbeam bisected its abdomen. Ahead lay a scene impossible to dream up by even the most ostentatious of science fiction directors. Castellated, crenelated, capacious icebergs dotted the horizon, now radiated by the fully grown sunshine....
