As several of you heard, Heather Undershute sent the Airdrie Army Cadets Banner to the south pole this year.  Yes, literally to the south pole.  Heather writes:

“The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is the southernmost continually inhabited place on the planet.  Its name honors Roald Amundsen who reached the South Pole in December 1911,and Robert F. Scott who reached the South Pole the following month.

It was constructed in November 1956 to support the International Geophysical Year in 1957, and has been continuously occupied since then. It currently lies within 100 meters (330 ft) of the Geographic South Pole.  Because it is located on a glacier, the station drifts towards the pole at the rate of about 10 meters per year (about 33 ft/yr).

The South Pole sees the sun rise and set only once a year.”

Thanks to Heather Undershute and Ken Borak Air staff.  Maybe next time we can stash a few of the Airdrie Army Cadets on the plane with the banner!  Currently, the banner is in the shop getting the website address added, but it sounds like after that, she will want to ship it as far north as she can (CFB Alert).
