When a new party of expeditioners arrive, this can be challenging for the old ones being replaced. Whose home is Antarctica? Where is home? Are these feelings evidence of deep connections with Antarctica?
Can home be situated in one's head? As a person who has led a contemporary nomadic lifestyle for many years I certainly hope so. Internally is where I have stored my lack of possessions and often I have luxuriated in a cosy private time-out place somewhere behind my eyeballs. Travel has somehow turned into dwelling after twenty years of jumping from place to place. Home has drastically shrunk: transformed into a fluid concept that's easy to move. Antarctica will be home for the little sculptures I make but it cannot be my home.
