Under an open sky on Antarctica
I wouldn't say that's weird, that's just extremely cool. What was it like?
It was unbelievable cool, but not in a temperature way. It was a bit chilly but not that bad since it was summer. That also means no sundown so it was just a bit less light. We dug a hole in the snow to keep from the wind and with some thick sleeping bags in a waterproof bag it was quite comfy and warm.
You are very far from any real civilization (no cellphone or anything) and that is completely refreshing. You just lay there listening to remote avalanches and the ocean, haven't slept as good as there. Untill after a short night I woke up from snow drifting into my nose and it was time to go before the weather changed.
Afterwards we took a swim in 4°C ocean water.. That also sure was something :)
Edit: I've written a small journal with some pictures on my blog if you're interested..
Incredible! Thanks for sharing such a unique experience
Ha no problem. They're fond memories so it is fun to revisit and talk about :)
Pretty chill and cool I imagine
