We made a lot of great music too, including quite a bit of original material with themes around Antarctica, though mostly form the view of someone actually living and working there. Titles like: Be careful What You Wish For ... You Just Might Get It! A song about securing a contract to work on the Ice without actually realising what you're getting into. Good fun stuff.

A bit of a laugh to think of a guitar made specially for Antarctica. I can understand the concern over dryness and cold but I've done 28 months on the ice including two winter-overs (back in the early '90's). We always had a great musical community down there and none of us worried about custom made guitars, basses or whatever.
