    McMurdo Station, Antarctica, Condition 1 Weather

    If you think it's cold here, imagine walking out the door of McMurdo Station on a "Condition 1" day.

    Condition 3 = Nice weather
    Condition 2 = Not so nice
    Condition 1 = Wind > 55kts, visibility < 100ft, wind chill < -100F
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    That's one place in the world that I would love to visit.

    It was funny how she had a tough time closing the door.
