It's -41ºF (it's almost the same in Celsius!) in their tents and they are limited to conserving calories to keep food/nutrition needs to a minimum until food arrives . A c/p clip: Tuesday night was a bit eventful . Just after we'd eaten and were about to bed down for the night, we heard the ice breaking up around us . It got louder at about 0300, and on checking, we saw a ridge only about 10m from the tent . I decided that it was about time to beat a hasty retreat, which we duly did, managing to haul our gear across a narrow gap in the ice before setting up camp in a safer place . A very interesting article! ( . bbc . co . uk/2/hi/science/nature/7897392 . stm" target="_blank">news . bbc . co . uk) |

| 757616 | 2009-03-19 06:35:00 | Personally I was more interested in another tourist who was on the Fox Glacier in New Zealand. The Arctic explorers. All three of them elected to do a journey to try and prove a theory. So what? | Sweep (90) | ||
