My most prized souvenir is a two-inch-long crystal that looks like kryptonite, which was ejected by Antarctica’s only constantly active volcano, Mt. Erebus. I had been waiting for over six weeks for the weather to clear so that we could get up to the summit and film into the lava lake.

Okay but guys did you know that Antarctica has volcanoes?
I have had this little comic that I cut out of the UVic student paper over a decade ago and it makes me smile every day. Wish I had kept the author’s name attached!
