Last Steps To The Bottom of the World
Posted by Dan Satterfield
I am back home at last and now I have the bandwidth to share a short video. My travel partner Ann Posegate of NEEF and Capital Weather Gang at the Washington Post also has some great pics on her blog.
I have dreamed of standing at the bottom of the World since reading of Amundsen and Scott at age 8. I made the last steps at age 50 years and 6 months. It was an emotional moment for me. More to come!

As empty as Antarctica is, when you finally get to the South Pole, you still have to wait in line. 🙂 Congratulations on achieving a life’s dream.
Congratulations, again, on achieving your goal! Thanks for the video. We are looking forward to reading more about your trip and the science in Antarctica.
This is more than awesome…I can only hope to do the same one day. Great video! Thank you!
