2. Me too!
There is some tourism there. We should sign up together!

Once, when I worked at DCA, one of my favorite regular passengers disappeared for a while. Didn't know why he wasn't flying us any more. I did know he was a Captain in the Navy.

Then I got a Christmas card from him. Turned out he was commanding our base in Antarctica!

I think I still have the card somewhere.

I've had a fantasy about going to Antarctica since I was a kid.

I know I will go there one day before I die.
