Very nice. Very green. Except for the pictures of icebergs and such, it looks quite different from Antarctica - and also quite different from the pictures I've seen from friends at Summit Camp.

I'm reminded of a comment at last week's Sunday Science Lecture, which was about Nacreous clouds. The speaker was showing pictures of nacreous clouds, when one picture brought out an audible gasp from the audience. He looked around and said, "When I show these pictures off-continent, I tell my audience that when I'm in Antarctica this picture gets everyone's notice, because there are trees."

Looking forward to more.
