Ice. Glacier-style ice as far as the eye can see. Penguins are a distant second.

My first thought too, the Ancient Outpost. To be fair I watched "Rising" last night so that's probably why.

The FACT that it was mapped (fairly well) BEFORE there were vast amounts of snow and ice on it...which means it was mapped thousands of years ago, probably...

About 4 laps around the world and a quick run back to the LC-130.
5 minutes at the most.

It was about zero degrees f with a 15 knot wind, wind chill was about -31 or so.

Cold desert.

I wish it were more easy to explore. I think there is a wealth of information waiting to be discovered in the fossil record, but due to the extremes, who knows when we'll be able to really start digging. I'm just amazed at how many people think it's just a chunk of ice and don't realize it's an actual land mass. Not talking about ARFCOM here, just tards in general.

Why does all the corn in Nebraska lean to the right? 'Cause Iowa sucks & Colorado blows.

Nebraska

Sure, there's the beauty of upstate forests/mountains and Cooperstown, but it's soon eclipsed by thoughts of Klinton & Schumer, Elliot Spitzer, and the millions of completely worthless social parasites and idiots that occupy one of the largest urban cesspools the world's ever seen.

Eh, I'm not a native Utahn anyways. Also I was completely serious in my answer. And beyond that, I have world class skiing, camping, climbing and hiking in my backyard.
