Martin Hartley ( Expedition Photographer) describes the less glamorous side of Polar travel. Temperatures recently have hovered around the 40 Degrees Celsius mark, making life extremely difficult. Even the simplest procedures, such as getting dressed, become painful and unpleasant.

  • @AnubisThantosKK Yes, I know that :) Here in Sweden we often have -40 at the winters. If you have much clothes it is not so cold on the body, most in the face and on the fingers. And things don't get better if you have glasses. I have glasses and in -40 I use to take them of because my eyes gets to cold. I see you live in Canada, so I guess that you guys often have - 40 or colder there?

  • -40 is not so very cold...But you need clothes to not freeze.

  • the lowest tempature i have ever experienced is -4 because i live in athens and its hot . for the highest it about 46! it was vert very hot

  • You don't qualify to speak to me phlegm wad. hee hee pwnies. :-)

  • Personal attacks do not deal with the questions I raised. Grow up.

  • @anonymous915 shut your ass!

  • Impressive that the camera worked.

  • i can imagine how painfully cold that is. I live in canada and the coldest temperature ive experienced was -35 C and it fucking HURT!! Just a little breeze on your skin stings so much.

  • Did you ever stop to think the ice might not be as thick because the thicker ice drifted somewhere else? It is floating on the ocean after all; it's not like Antarctica. And what effect does all your drilling have on it? Did you take into consideration the impact you had on your own readings? Funny how the CO2 levels have risen since they started ecotourism and so many studies of the area. I don't think the problem is cars at all. It's environmentalists/scientists.

  • What's the point in taking off the coat and boots at all? Even at 67degrees I have to warm up all over again when I get out of my warm pjs into a room temperature shirt. Putting on a pair of boots and a coat that cooled to -40? I can't imagine I'd ever get warm.
