“Through endurance we conquer.”
“Difficulties are just things to overcome.”
“Just when things looked their worse, they changed for the best. I have marveled often at the thin line that divides success from failure and the sudden turn that leads from apparently certain disaster to comparative safety.”
“Men Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”

I haven’t been to any of the artic regions yet, but I found this old photo of my dad in a small dingy floating through icebergs. He said he was above the Artic Circle, North of Alaska at the Polar Ice Cap; not in Antarctica.
