Seeing Patterns

Going to the continent gave me a perspective I didn't get from reading my father's journals, books and dairies of others.  While watching the film Eight Below last night, I realize I see a pattern of Antarctica, I didn't previously have. The film shows the landscape, wildlife and challenges of community, survival, courage and friendship.  For the first time, the pieces I've been gathering make sense to me.

I understand the importance of preserving paradise at the bottom of the earth.  Robert Swan, 2041 connects youth, corporate leaders and influencers to the continent.  The goal is, after being there, you will advocate for the continuation of the Antarctic treaty in 2041.  As of today, Swan's website posts 29 years and counting, before the decision to preserve or mine Antarctica
