Antarctica Says No to War
And
You Thought It Was Cold in New York
by Elizabeth Connell
The folks here did manage to rally behind
the cause and there was a small
protest on Sunday (Saturday in the States). About 50-55 people
gathered on
the sea ice to protest the possible war in Iraq. It was a grey
and particularly cold day so the demonstration was brief, but
heartfelt. The entire thing lasted about 20 minutes. We had banners
and signs expressing our concerns about the war and we took several
photos, shouted out "Antarctica says no to war!" and
then went back to the business of the day (several people were
on a break from work). It was the third time this season that
there were anti-war protests.
