Back from Antarctica, message in hand

Antartican Whale

Back in Doha, AlMisnad wraps his journey to Antarctica, but not his exploration for sustainable development.

There’s greenery in Antarctica.

Moss, hair grass and lichen-like sprigs sprout from the rocks on King George Island, the largest of the islands on the squiggly tip of the continent that reaches for South America.

Abdulla AlMisnad, the Qatari native and Shell Oil engineer who logged his 15-day journey to Antarctica for Petroleum News’ sister publication Greening of Oil, posted photographs of this vegetation on March 23, after his return to Doha, Qatar.

Al Misnad

Summer is just wrapping up in the southern hemisphere, which includes Antarctica. In Qatar, temperatures top 80 degrees, but summer won’t begin for several more months.

Now, though, AlMisnad is shifting his focus, taking the experiences from his trip to the most remote place on earth and writing post expedition logs for people in the least remote places.

Just for info: about the lies coming from "GIEC and other IPPC climate change due to human activity" liars:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7086746.ece

Check the solar activity for the past ten years and the overall tempartures in the past century, you might have guessed it.

Dig for information, do not accept it without facts and research...
