This is the diary I wrote during my trip down to Antarctica on the Ross Ice Shelf in the season 2009/10 with Gateway Antarctica. I decided to include the copies of my original diary with some pictures aside the pages so that you can see what I am talking about. It might sometime be tricky to decrypt my handwriting, but as this diary was written daily on the ice, in the tent in the sonw caves, on base I think it just makes it more real ;-) So have fun and feel free to ask me any more questions about it!
To enlarge the pictures just click on the ones you want to see in detail and they will come up in a seperate window. For Internet Explorer please allow to open seperate windows if blockage bar on top shows up.
