especially when compared with
the human body.

For the short period we were in those conditions,

forty below did not feel as cold as

I thought it would be.

It is difficult for me to comprehend that parts of the world

accept a negative 40 degrees as normal.

However, I guess those same parts of the world would

find it equally difficult to live in our climate which

even in southern Victoria exceeds

plus 40 degrees in summer.

chill

 

All my chill images should have

provided us with a chilling experience…

 

…unfortunately, the opposite was true.

Although it was snowing on

Canada’s Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, 

moving around kept us warm.

 

Even our visit to

Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier

was undertaken in bright sunshine.

I must confess wearing more than

a cotton shirt on the

glacier visits though.

e~~~~~~~

~~~~~

shiver

shake slightly and uncontrollably

as a result of being cold,

frightened, or excited

~~~~~

A few minutes in the Forty Below chamber

and most of us were of the opinion

that it was not as cold as expected.

I daresay a few minutes more,

would have produced an outbreak

of the shivers though.
