Solo Adventure in Antarctica
British Woman Becomes the First Person to Ski Across Antarctica Alone
If the winter weather is getting to you, imagine how British skier Felicity Aston must have felt. She just returned today from a solo ski expedition across Antarctica. She is the first woman—and first human—to complete such a journey alone. The trip took her 59 days, during which she was powered only by her own strength. She hauled two sledges over 1,084 miles, which is not too shabby! The 34-year-old woman from Kent, England, is a veteran of subzero treks, and she used to work at a British weather service base in Antarctica. After being picked up after her expedition, she said she'd been promised "A very long, very hot shower. It's something I haven't had in quite a long time now!" And also some very well-deserved red wine.

Questions from Jr. Medical School in Mississippi (Matt Thorn)
Is the ice cap melting, if so how much per year and how do you measure it? Is it enough to affect the salinity of the ocean?
If the ice caps are floating will their melting affect the sea level? (Ice in a glass)
I understand that methane gas is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and that there has been a simultaneous world wide surge in methane recently. Is the South Pole representative of that?
What affect is it having, how are you measuring it, why do you think it happened?
If it was caused by man, wouldn't it have started in pollution zones and spread - not rise all over the world simultaneously?
If the south pole is losing ice and the north pole is gaining ice, is this a climate shift as opposed to global warming?
Like other weather phenomenom, is global warming cyclical?
What research is going on about global warming in the South Pole?
What advantage is there is doing research in the South Pole?
