a view from the bottom of the world

Satellite map of Antarctica and the inclusion of several fun facts like this one:

The three southern oceans -- Atlantic, Pacific and Indian converge on Antarctica. The body of water between the Antarctica and South America is the Drake Passage -- one of the roughest waterways in the world.


I found a site that has a first person account of a trip to Antarctica including the experience of journeying through Drake Passage on an ice breaker! More cool stories and images of that Antarctic trip can be found at Ray Doan's Trip to Antarctica.

By the way this fellow is a gifted photographer and you can check out all of his absolutely stunning photographic collection here!
