It's highly appropriate! Since you wore a Rolex on the trip.... I couldn't find a link to the article on line, so it still must be subscription only.

Thanks for posting

Fiennes-an incredible life-Eton, Royal Scots Greys, SAS, White Nile on a hovercraft, walking across both poles unsupported by oxygen,
ran seven marathons(2003)on seven continents in seven days-this four months after a heart attack and bypass, author of 19 books and so on and on….

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranulph_Fiennes

IMHO, Fiennes comes from a long line of British soldier-adventurers that include:

Captain Richard Burton
Col. Fred “The True Blue” Burnaby
T.E. Lawrence(of Arabia)
Lt. Col. F.M. Bailey
Fitzroy Maclean
Wilfred Thesiger
Patrick “Paddy” Leigh Fermor
(and of course TRF’s own Steve(Toomuchtalk

)

Truly inspiring lives.

Burton

Bailey

Maclean

Thesiger

Leigh Fermor

Which books?

TimeRookie · 4 January 2016, 01:58 AM

Hi Steve. I thought you might find this article from one of our national newspapers in Canada, interesting. I'm sure you know more about this than the reporter. I was hoping you'd give your opinion on Antarctica's future.
