I guessing this will be the 3rd year(4th year?) in a row, some climate change fanatics will have to be rescued from the climate in Antartica

That was my first thought, too (of course).

However, like most feminist frauds, there's more to the story.

They are going in late Spring early Summer (naturally). They are going by ship, not flying. They will "set sail from Argentina", even though their coven is gathering in Australia. This means they are going to the coast, not the interior. The closest part of Antarctica to Argentina is the Antarctic peninsula, which reaches all the way up to 62 degrees south. The weather forecast for December 2 (the day they leave) at that location is for a low of 32F, so the "subzero temperatures" they are braving will be (at most) in the high 20s.

And, best of all (according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), "once they arrive, they will spend 20 days at sea carrying out important scientific work", in other words, THEY AREN"T EVEN SPENDING A NIGHT ON LAND, NOT EVEN LAND AT 62 degrees south.

The ship, no doubt, will have an all male crew.

You would have to worry about canoodling with the crew, but then again...

They are way overdressed for the Antarctic summer.

So basically a cruise with some land excursions. Maybe not a luxury cruise but that is about it. If those are the temps they will experience then it will be colder here in North America for many of us. I’m underwhelmed.

Those coats look nice and warm, but are they really going to be wearing sandals and high heels ?

The chick in the foreground of your photo looks to be wearing pumps!

I see her naked ankle. Brrr, must be really cold there.

“You would have to worry about canoodling with the crew, but then again...”

Only if the crew can’t run fast enough, or if the lock on the forecastle isn’t hefty enough.
