On the way back from Antarctica, at Buenos Aires airport of all places, I bought a simple wooden bracelet. It is to some extent my Antarctic bracelet because it has the colours of Antarctica in it. It has several shades of blue, some white, some grey and black in an unruly mixture. You can see the icebergs and the sea, the snow and ice, the rocks in them. Then there is the gold in there, the colour of the lichens on the rocks. I like all these colours, the way they are mixed, and the way they remind me of my trips down south. It is good at times to have a reminder of a world out there when you spend your day in an office in the middle of a big city.
