ANTARCTICA – SANAE 15

Antarctica is a place that leaves one with lasting impressions and a passion for this unpredictable beauty.
Imagine a place that is 11 times the size of the RSA- it is the seventh continent , the 5th largest continent and boasts various world records –none of which is comfortable for homo sapiens ....and just as well, or otherwise it also would have been on the brink of destruction. It is the highest ( due to the enormous amount of ice that has accumulated over millions of years – over 4 kilometers thick in places), the driest ( therefore often referred to as the white desert with an average precipitation of only 10-12 cm per year ), the coldest ( holding the record low temperature of minus 88 degrees Centigrade at the Russian base Vostok ( not a USA base , funny enough!!) , an average annual temperature of – 57 C at Vostok and more than 20 C colder than any other place on earth, as well as being the windiest ( with winds blowing in excess of 240 Km / hour for days on end when catabatic and cyclonic winds combine!! )
