Sad news today for the Ice community - Sir Edmund Hillary passed away at age 88. Besides his historic conquest of Everest (along with Tenzing Norgay, of course), Sir Ed was also a great Antarctic adventurer as well. He was so incredibly awesome, he drove to the Pole in a modified farm tractor. Read all about the trip here.

Also, the icebreaker is here! Can’t wait to meet all the Swedes. Will hopefully post some pics this weekend. Now, off to Burger Bar!
