Highlights from Antarctica

tags: , , , , , ,

This is for everyone who has asked me, "why do you want to go to Antarctica?" This is the most amazing video I've seen on YouTube about Antarctica .. everything about it -- from the footage to the music -- is first-class. The music is sung by Sarah Maclaughlan and is called "Silence."

The music is by Delerium, a project of one of my all-time favorite musical teams, Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber. It is from their album, "Karma." To my Knowledge, Silence is the only track Sarah Maclaughlan ever sung on for Delerium.

I have been to the same places on, I think, the same boat. The silence and the vastness really are overwhelming.

Thanks. I'll go and vote now.

Pleasant enough vid but I'm sure yours will be far better. Hang in there.

I'll vote for you if I can come as your assistant?
