Found this companion piece to Donna's re Antarctica in The NY Times. Seems the Emperors were in charge back then too.

He's loving every minute of it there. Last year he met Sir David Attenborough, who will it be this year!

I am sooooo impressed! You know, Sir David has to be around 80 and he continues to inspire new generations, just as he did in his first series "Life on Earth". He is definitely on my invitation list for that Imaginary Dinner Party! (So far, I have Sir David, Freddie Mercury and Tim Robbins... they all say they will get back to me, tho Freddie is finding it a tad difficult...)

I always found Freddie Mercury to be fascinating, right down to his BIG teeth. Queen has always been my Favorite group. My daughter, although young when he died, cried her little heart out. I miss his flamboyancy!
