1) Set up a plane to Puntas Arenas, Chile. 2) Coordinate with group of other crazy people to fly to Antarctica 3) Bring LOTS of warm clothing. 4) To run, be very careful. Mostly shuffling. 5) Find big ice sheets to run on

Wow, I'm extremely curious how that will pan out. Going to Antarctica has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I always thought it was relatively difficult to do, but I suppose there aren't border guards.

Incidentally, I'm from North Dakota so I know we're supposed to be mortal enemies, but I do wish you the best of luck.

No border guards as far as I know... And I should double check as I'm supposed to claim some land for a couple groups of people.

North Dakota, eh? Yeah, I got over the mortal enemies thing when I realized how few of us are in Silicon Valley.

Question: I want to donate and give the do-something-in-antarctica option as a gift (preferably anonymously), is there any way to make that happen?

Yep. Just tell me who you want it to, what you want me to do, and that you want it to be anonymous and I'll do it!

don't all ice sheets have crevices? I thought they run on permafrost in Antarctica...
