Â鶹´«Ã½

From David Hornstein

Scott Base, Antarctica

Just one small comment I would like to make concerning that almost excellent
Forum article written by Phil Bagnall (Forum, 6 July, p 45).

Phil, your essay on time did while away the time for a short time. But, if I
were an Adélie penguin, you’d make my quills stand on end with your
comment: “It is even possible to holiday in Antarctica. And so people
do—although heaven knows why.”

Firstly, I apologise for my late response to your essay. We just had our
August Starlifter (C141) supply flight and it’s taken about two months for
Â鶹´«Ã½ to finally make its way down here to Ross Island. Phil,
please come down to Antarctica and experience Antarctic tourism at first hand
before making such sweeping, hopefully tongue-in-cheek statements.
