Wow!!! Really? Not may shops to spend your cash... or even cash points for the inevitable poker games.
Can't even start to think what it would be like down there. Kudos Railgun!
The stuff you saw on the program was somthing you could really get used to waking up too.
Just a for instance, (and hate sounding like I'm blowing, but what the hell! LOL) I was up for the morning watch, and was standing down on the ships quarterdeck with a cuppa, about 3.30 in the morning, 24 hour sunlight at that time, the ship was hitched up on the side of an ice flow, was hanging over the back end, and I had a face to face with an Orca sticking its head up out of the water, just like in the program. They really do look you in the eye.
They used to follow the ship when we were ice breaking too, as any seals on the ice in the path of ship, would go into the water behind us. Easy pickings for them. Incredible place, and it made me slightly emotional watching the program. Happy days!. Transiting Drake's passage to get down and back from there, was always entertaining though!
It's made me wanna stick some of my old vids on you tube. Ill get round to it!
