Would you go? |

I just read this article about tourists visiting Antarctica. At first, I thought, "No way... I hate being cold." But after I read the article, I began to reconsider. What about you? Does a vacation in Antarctica sound like something you would like?

I read a Travel section article in the Washington Post a few months ago that I wish I could find. It described a fascinating trip around Tierra del Fuego that allowed cruise trippers to be within tossing distance of Antarctica. It sounded fascinating.

Dave the Swede loves to travel to cold places. But I also like to partake of the local cuisine . . . What's the national dish or Antarctica?

Dave:
Antarctic Krill, sushi or grilled. Bon appetit!

Don't know, but it can't be very good. Obesity is unknown among the citizenry.
