That is...well, it just is...fantastic.
Super cool! Congratulations!
Do not....I Repeat......Do Not stick your tongue to that pole. I once watched a documentary called A Christmas Story that proved that theory.

Thanks a lot for all the kind words, that is really appreciated!
It was indeed a very impressive experience and something that will last quite a while.
I could probably talk 2 days about that - what i wont do now - no worries - but i will happily answer all questions.
The most common once so far ;D
1) It was cold, yes , fucking cold. On the Pole we had -25° when it was sunny and -40° when it was windy (what is probably -2000 in F , i dont know but something like that ;D)
2) But thats not really an issue because you have matching clothes, and especially shoes.
3) Yes we lived in tents, and yes they have been warm enough
4) Yes we peed in bottles, and we brought two , so that you have one for drinking and one for peeing - poor bastards who had two bottles of the same color
5) What we did there ? If you have nice weather (see 1) you can do a lot of excursions and exploring, if you are caught in a blizzard (see 1) you learn cribbage and play cards with the pilots
6) can you kiss the pole ? Yes you can , but you will stick to it as its out of metal and its cold (see 1)
The cool thing about -40C is that it is also -40F. :)
Thanks for sharing your amazing experience!

hey Seb, very cool photo, but...
You really should have taken a King book to show on the photo. You would have been the furthest person South EVER to be reading Stephen King! :evil:
So what kind of trip was it?
Was it an expedition lasting a few days, weeks, months?
How were you brought there?
How many people...?
No fun. Can’t even see the shipping label
Current house, moving into new house soon. Woot woot.
“Cardboard Box? You were lucky... we used to dream of living in a cardboard box...”
Even when it's a lot of money, I think this qualifies as an awesome deal :)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I had to sell some stuff I wasn't planning to, but it was well worth it!
Received yesterday, but I still can't believe I own it. :)
