Christmas 2006 found me buried in Wayne Johnston's The Navigator of New York. Following last summer's reading of The Worst Journey in the World, I must say Arctic exploration is my latest and greatest obsession. Antartica is slowly moving up in the list of places I really, really want to visit, but...
...am I romanticising just a wee bit? Me, who, as everyone knows, HATES the cold. Who feels room temperature should be 22 C -- or higher. I don't skate because I can't stand frozen toes. Hibernation is the way of my life from November to March (we got some long Canadian winters!).
So Antarctica maaaaay be out of my league.
It's kind of like how I badly want to sky dive but am afraid of falling...

Hey Chow. Merry Christmas. Just wanted to say, if you want to fuel that Arctic obsession, read Gary Paulsen's 'Winterdance'. I loved it. You'll turn into a dog sledder and join the Iditarod race in no time. I'm certain. -Maryann
