Nearly a century after Capt. Robert Falcon Scott explored the southern continent, experts are working to save the British explorer's wooden hut (pictured on Ross Island, Antarctica, in August 2006) and three others in the area from slipping under the snow forever.

You could have come up here last week and saved a lot of travelling time and money, yet still experienced similar views and temperatures Clive  ::)

I think I'd prefer Italy while the Verona Festival is on, Clive.

Sam is right about a cruise.  There are a number of cruises that fly from Heathrow to Chile where you embark the ship.   :D

We have one booked for later in the year and we also have wedding to attend in Cyprus.  But I'm actively looking for something a bit earlier.  It may be a last minute deal.   :D

If you fancy another Canadian adventure come to the rockies, I'll show you around Calgary.

well I'd not be against seeing an old friend!  :D

The rockies are fantastic... probably look gorgeous this time of year (I've not been up to Banff in the winter yet)
