It has always stuck in my memory as the most sublimely beautiful place on earth that I have been fortunate enough to visit. Recently I became aware of the NSF Artists grant to help artists get to Antarctica, and I have since been thinking hard on an idea for a proposal that might get me back there. Finally, after seeing Werner Hertzog's film, Encounters at the End of the World, I think I have a feasible idea. Then I went to the NSF website and saw that they have suspended the program. What a bummer.
