Awww, yay - I wish I'd had a phase like that when I was little. And I wish I could watch some of the movies that have been made about this stuff - my mom was recently at a maritime museum and she said they had a whole exhibit about all the Antarctic exploration with a documentary and everything. I was jealous.
Yeah, you know, before I didn't like the mittens one as much, but the more I look at it the more I prefer the composition, somehow. Aaargh, can't decide, meaning that I still don't have a Shackleton icon with which to respond to comments. :(
Haha - I actually came across that quote somewhere. Oates in popular culture or something. XD And then a friend of mine asked if people ever had to resort to cannibalism on these expeditions and I was like "Yes. . . no wait, no, that was Red Dwarf."
