Antarctica
Very cinematic, don't you think. I'm a southern girl interested in this place. I have degree in geography and a friend who goes there every six months. I asked him, "They're starved for music, right?" (thinking that I should go and play there). He said, "No, we have bands formed from the people here."
I read today about the desert there - no snow, no ice but sub-zero temps. They say the sky is so clear that you can see farther than you think you can and that can be a fatal error cause you might think you can just walk over there.
Captain Scott (am I remembering his name right?) in the nineteen teens tried to make it to the south pole and then LEFT HIS PONIES AND DOGS to fend for themselves and when they got there some Norwegians or something had gotten there first. They died on the way back and are still there in the ice.
I don't know why this place intrigues me. It may go back to reading about the doctor who took the doctor's place who had to REMOVE HER OWN BREAST LUMP and all he had to go through just to get there (online diary which I read).
And then sitting in a honky tonk here in Miss'ippi and drinking way too many beer and my friend, Trey (I called him Ice Trey) say he'd been to Antarctica every six months for several years and I go like... really? Dang! Trey?
What films? Antarctica where the air is clear and the ice is deep. Helicopters evidently can fly some places there.
Suzy (maybe cause it's so hot here)

You're unqualified to be interested in this because you still haven't figure out what a backbeat is.

Well then, you have to see this:
Of all the places on earth, Antarctica is the second-to-last place I'm interested in visiting, just after Salar de Uyuni.

One of my all-time fave stories:
Apparently penguins are fascinated by planes flying straight toward them and over their heads. They tilt their heads straight up and continue to tilt them until they fall over backwards.
So Antarctic pilots have great fun by flying toward and over flocks of hundreds and thousands of penguins, watching them all keel over backwards.

That looks extremely cool. Have you ever seen the 4-part series Blue Planet that aired on Discovery a few years back? Available on DVD. Amazing footage of all kinds of sea critters, including penguins.
