Life in a Day

My everyday life is mostly the same. The routines, sights, and thoughts don’t change much from day to day. In Antarctica each day feels like an entire lifetime. I see dozens of things I’ve never seen before, experience a range of emotions I rarely feel. Immersed in this sea of new information, all my energy is focused on staying afloat. Like a baby or toddler, my brain is constantly absorbing and expanding, and the only pause is sleep.
