Travel of Ice

Greetings from McMurdo

Hello I was travel in "Deep Freeze" tour it was so exiting. Me and my brother named that. We love to travel Atlantic and Ice lands.

First place we went to Netherland. It is located near by Germany. We are just arrived there while there is snowing. Because it’s 07 January Christmas just end. We stayed in gorgeous hotel named “Welcome to Nederland”.

Next day we are going to see the Ocean. It’s was cold there but ocean looks so beautiful. One thing is most interested me is light house, that is build by almost 200 years ago who has build that center of the cliff. Ocean looks so deep, so clear on the top of light house. I hear Ocean that feeling is something new I've ever felt. then we take a picture. I've been take a picture when sea wave hit me. I didn't notice that. That was so hurt and so cold. Then we take a ride to back hotel.

We went to restaurent and order Netherland food and some Italian food. the lobster is so delicious. Salad is made by cabbage, potato and something delicious things. Food was miraculous.

And we went to skiing. That place is located near town. Long and big mountain that was, and have a cable car. Skiing to snow board it’s so difficult, and I fallen down every time that’s so painful. Maybe I’m looks like jurk, probably my brother laughs at me.

After that day we went to party named “White Party”. When I there, I saw lot of famous DJ’s in the world. Can you believe this I shook hand whit Teas Misheal Verwest every one know him Tiesto. There is Armin Van Buuren and Dash Berlin too. That night is so fantastic, everyone dancing till the sun comes up. Even I don’t know how I get back home.

Then we have to go. Next place of deep freeze tour is Iceland. That is located in Atlantic Ocean, south of North Pole, west north of Great Britain. When we be there was cold, colder than Netherland. Temperature is -6˚C. we stayed guest house its so old and exiting.

First thing we do there is discover the city, and we went to Haukadalur. It’s the place of volcanic area. I see there so many Geyser , geyser is hot boiling water blows up underground. It’s so great, and even 2 volcano is still alive there, luckily volcano didn’t explode near 50 years. Then I decided to see lava. That is so hard to reach the volcano. The ground is so dry and ashes is everywhere, it slows me down I'm so tired. When I've reach the top, there is no lava. Tom said "Of course there is no lava because you can‘t see it on surface but lava is still under that almost bloken ashes". I'm so dissatisfied that, however Haukadalur is very strangely beautiful place.

The food was great but I like to boil the soup on geyser, its so dangerous but its so delicious. And we tried to fry a chicken, that is so funny because when we put the chicken into geyser, chicken is blowed and nothing to left to ate. I’ve lot of fun to there, then we need to go back. Park closes 8pm.

We are there 2 days, and lots of thing done. Most interesting thing in whole traveling is travel to Antarctica , I can’t wait to go to south pole.

And one days later we are in New Zeland's sea port, then we aboard the ship, name is “Sea Witch”. Its McMurdo stations researcher ship. Then we go to McMurdo station of American Antarctica research station. When we there many people there to studying, and researching. We stayed Asian researchers’ base, there is 5 different country people there one is Kusaharu. He is came from Japan.

Second day on Antarctic very heavy wind storm started, then every researcher's and traveling is stopped till the storm stopped. One thing is most interest me is the sun, when sun comes up it’s didn’t sun down till I'm going home. Then we slept, worked and lived at light. Finally storm is stopped. We are ready to go Vostok station. Vostok is Russian researchers’ basement. Every one told me “Going to Vostok station that so dangerous to kids” then I said “I’m not kid anymore”. Luckily McMurdos headquarter of John Doore agreed me, then I’m ready to go. Weather is fine when we take a journey, we sit snow car big truck name is "A 10K-AT" and we deliver cargo to Vostok station, Vostok is almost middle of Antarctica. That journey takes 6 hour. I was looking around while polar bear and her puppy is laying on the ice and smiles at me I'm so amazed that. Five hours later we are in Vostok. There are third expedition of Russian. Expedition has 25 people.

Storm will stop one month later. And we must go home. tomorrow we board the ship, then go to New Zeland. Going to home it’s still adventure. I'm there at 2 or 3 days later.

Traveling to Netherland, Iceland and Antarctica is so exiting. Don't afraid of chill, and take a cold, its just fine. When you come here you will never have time to think about cold because you can't stop admiring. If I were you I will never miss of it.

Love Todd
