One of our favorite readers is Alison Levine, who is forever climbing this or crossing that, and by this or that we mean things like Everest or Antartica, where she is now, attempting to become the first person from this continent to cross 550 miles of ice from the edge of the Ronne Ice Shelf to the geographic South Pole on foot/skis. No dogs!You can follow her progress on this blog, and she says while she needs to cut every possible ounce of excess from her supplies, she's absolutely taking her Duke banner.
Good thing it's summer down there...
