Jag läser A Suffragist´s guide to the Antarctic av Yi Shun Lai
Jag har länkat titeln till GoodReads där du kan läsa mer.

”-We are always a little on edge due to the weather. One must never, ever forget the constant threat of the air around us.One now performs the most basic biological function in a state of low fear that taking too long to urinate will mean one´s bottom, fanny, or willy will literally freeze off.”

”This is a good place to tell you about the landscape on Antarctica. Your vision will never, ever be the same. I feel I will forever be comparing every white, every shade of gray, every clarity of sky and purity of air to what I have bornewitness to so far. The blues are sometimes so pale it feels as if you are looking at pure light. The horizon is so, so big, almost as if you ar looking past the curvature of the earth.The storms, when they roll in, an be seen from miles away.”
