I came across this picture when looking through that other guy's pictures (Debenhem I think was his name). It was just captioned with "expedition member" and something about the penguin, but he looked an awfully lot like Cherry to me..I was comparing other pics of him to this one, but I still wasn't 100% sure, even though the shadow (beard?) on the side of his face was the same. Finally I just decided to Google "Apsley Cherry-Garrard skinning a penguin," and what do you know, it IS him!! OMG that made me squee so hard LOL. So happy!! *flails* I'm getting good at recognizing him ;)

Cherry's on the left holding the horse's face. Good thing this one was captioned, I was thrown off by the guy in the white jacket again haha!

This is actually the picture I was talking about that I hadn't seen before when I was watching that one documentary..I believe Cherry is in the back row, third from right

Awwww, the ship's cat had his own special hammock *squees some more* LOL
So I was inspired by this picture...:


...to take one of my own! That honestly took some courage, I don't really like taking my glasses off cause it freaks me out how bad my vision is haha (sometimes I'll even close my eyes if I have to for whatever reason). Also, WOW, I look WEIRD without glasses haha!! My face is naked!
Today at work I found a book on Antarctic explorers..there was a pic of Cherry in it, so I went up to Denise and was like "that's my guy!!" haha. She must have recognized him from my Facebook posts, because she was like "oh, Cherry-Garrard?" The book had his whole name, so I was like "yep, Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard!" and she nodded and empathetically (is that a word?) said "CHERRY" haha!
I also came across Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson when cleaning books, which mentions him a lot..yeahhh I was a bit distracted at work after that :P
Mom, Ryan and I are going to Payson in December and the beginning of January! Mom mentioned having Christmas with Aunt Cindy, which would be cool :)
