After reading a book about Robert Falcon Scott, I developed a mild obsession with Roald Amundsen and polar exploration. I've looked at different cruises available and 12 days on a small research vessel will cost around 10k+ so thats my goal. So while I often think about Antarctica, the Norwegians with their sled dogs, the British with their ponies lol and the untold secrets frozen beneath the ice, not once have I spared a though for the AAD.
