subject: Antarctica Penguins and Sunsets Among the Different Sights to Behold [print this page] A sunrise over the plains of Antarctica is the most incredible moment this man has ever experienced since he visited all of the world's continents. It was a religious moment for him. God's presence could be felt down there, the Texan from a NASA tracking station stated. Only a rare few like him can say that they saw this great mass of ice and volcanic ash.It is pretty normal for people to come here to first pass by McMurdo station, which is at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
A former US military outpost, McMurdo is now being managed and funded by the National Science Foundation.Nothing much can be done there. Getting outside requires several layers of high tech polar clothing and a hardy constitution, as temperatures are routinely 30 degrees below zero. Though he worked difficult and tedious shifts tracking satellites, he said he tried hard not to forget the stark beauty around him.
Before the Antarctic winter comes, he gets to enjoy the sunsets over the Royal Society Mountains.He really cherished the time he saw the names of the participants of the 1908 Shackleton expedition. He said that he will not forget the people he got acquainted with at McMurdo. No matter who the person was, he could be called by his first name and he also had a great life story to share.He has no fears about the landscape even if it is dangerous. Having gone on a cruise to see penguin breeding grounds, a 47 year old woman also claims to not be afraid of what she saw in Antarctica.
Penguins are animals that she has always been interested in. I consider them to be my favorites since childhood. They serve as small replicas of human beings. They are attractive in their own special way, but I wouldn't say they are cute.A memorable scene comes to her head whenever she recalls her trip to Antarctica.
It was seeing a multitude of King Penguins gathering along the shores of a bay. She described it as something truly eye catching. One need not have an academic grant or a pilot's license to make it to The Ice, as the locals call it.Other alternatives are possible for those who prefer to do this without having to take part with the modern day Foreign Legion. There are cruise lines from New Zealand that bring passengers to Antarctica for only $3,000. You would be shelling out a lot of money for a flight to the South Pole. If you have a sense of adventure and lots of money, then this is for you.
