I took some with him at some various places around the South Pole here. I emailed them to my supervisor in Boulder, CO and we'll try to forward them to you if you don't have them yet. It is very cold down here. Luckily right now it is summer so it's fairly warm. Today it is -33C which is a little colder than it has been lately. Winter is fast approaching in the southern hemisphere and the temperatures are going to drop quickly. Winters here can reach -70C! We do indeed melt snow for our drinking water and as for food, it is all shipped down here. From Mid February to Mid October, we are without any flights into the Pole so we make due with what we have for that whole period. Sounds plenty cold up there in Prague! -Nick Hi Chanwoo,

I like your story- it's very good. But I don't speak English well,so I do not understand much. It looks very fun. I would like to holiday there. but I guess it costs a lot of money. It is very cold?? Here in Prague in the Czech Republic it is -19 celsius today. What do you eat???Where do you get food?? And how do you get drinking water????Do you melt the snow?!? I look forward to hearing from you. Chanwoo. My name is Chanwoo and you have my Flat Stanley.
