FIRE and ICE

For those who asked. Each voyage has a "name". V1-98 was called Fire & Ice standing for:

F*** Its a Real Emergency! & I Can't Email

If you don't believe me then check out the AAD (Australian Antarctic Division) web site!!

I also have the t-shirt....

Personally i didn't much care that we were in a media blackout. But i swear to god my first thought at 2:30 in the morning when the alarm went off was "now who the F*** has a fire drill at at this time of night". Isn't human nature just amazing?
