Thanks so much Simon. I looked on the website of your station -- very interesting.

Luckily we will not be coming nearly as far south as you. Our furthest stop south will be at Snow Hill Island, which is at 64S, 56W -- way up on the tip of the peninsula. Good thing, because that -35C temperature you mentioned sounds pretty darned cold. I'm game for just about any adventure, but my wife would probably stay inside a lot if it was getting that cold, even at your average of -20C. My guess is it will be a good deal warmer where we will be, probably in the range of -10C like Paul said.

Anyway, thanks again for the info, and if we get blown off course I will stop in and say hello!
