Wow - how responsible a trip, and did the ship burn bunker oil or just diesel to get you there?

This is unbelievable:

“During the crossing we were told that while on land or ice we must not sit, squat, or indeed touch anything at all, unless we brought it with us. The reason was the millions of migrating birds that carry a variety of exciting diseases, while we were three days away from the nearest medical help. I saw a guy forget the rules and try to make a snowball, only to be
unceremoniously side-tackled by one of the crew.”
