Unexpected image from Leslie - although that is a goofy comment to make. Illustrations of things have no relevance to what we do day to day. Maybe this was a series from the illustrations in Alice in Wonderland. For me, those images are *mind-stickers.* Have we talked about mind-stickers? It's like an ear-worm (song that you can't get out of your head) only it's an image that sticks in your mind. Is there a word for that experience that I have forgotten?

One of yesterday's links was to a post mentioning my son's ski trip to Svalbard - which is as close as you can get to the North Pole for a ski trip. Not that they have any ski resorts - you have to hike up mountains and ski down. Same thing at the *South Pole* or as close as you can get - which he has done. I think there is a blog post about that trip.
Recently I ran across an Instagram guy who worked at a station in Antarctica. I spent a fair amount of time looking at his posts. First link is to his account. Second link is one with a fun series of clips that show what it's like to fly into Antarctica.
