  • There are several space camps in the United States, but the one in Huntsville is the only one available to adults. You can either do an adult space academy for 3 days, or space camp for educators for 6.
  • The camp was quite fun and you get to do several things related to space, including 2 missions.
  • The rocket launching.
  • Nobody gets to do everything so even with different roles, it’s still possible to not really know what other people were doing.
  • I’d recommend going though probably not staying in their dormitory. Their mattress gave me a backache.
  • The ISS. We have unrestricted access to the museum (all hours).
  • The space force is ready!

  • Antarctica, the last continent for me.
  • It’s now a big destination, though tourists mostly only go to the King George Island area.
  • This area is claimed by Chile, Argentina, the UK, and Brazil.
  • The penguins kept pooping and the place smelt really bad.
  • The southernmost Roman Catholic Church.
  • Many penguins kept going into the sea.
  • The amazing thing about this is that you get to be extremely close to the animals.
  • The penguin colony is actually on another island.
  • Next to the Russian Orthodox Church.
  • The glacier opposite to the penguin colony.

  • Penguins climb all the way up because those spots were the first to melt.

  • Ancient trees. Possibly millions of years old.
  • It was only -1 degrees. It was snowing but it’s quite manageable.
  • The penguins kept calling, too.
  • The Russians apparently didn’t want to take us there.
  • And the weather was turning bad in the afternoon, when it started to rain.
  • A dead chick.
  • The gymnasium of the Chilean base.
  • There’s a Movistar dish…
  • It’s better to walk on the ice because the ground was quite muddy when it’s without stones.
