A history of human activity in Antarctica

    Heading to Antarctica

    Heading to Antarctica

    I've been offered work in Antarctica and urgently need to renew some certs and get my teeth fixed and get a seafarer's medical and plane tickets and some coffee.
    If you've paid all your bills and put some money aside for a rainy day and donated to some charities and had your fill of the caviar and lobster, please consider flicking a few bucks my way. 
    Music, soundscapes and broad horizons lie in the offing, so take care and appreciate your coffee.
