[at-l] Oh My! More adventures [OT?]

[kent_gardam at yahoo.com (Kent Gardam)]

British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott took white horses along to the Antarctic on his 1910-1912 expedition to become the first to reach the south pole.  Unfortunately for Scott though, Norwegian explorer Amundsen beat the British team in the race to the pole by about a month.  Even more unfortunately for Scott's team, the whole team died on their return trip back to their base.  No word on what happened to the horses though.

Beans up your nose?! That's a colloquialism with which I am unfamiliar...but I'd like to someday go to Antarctica. 

Of course, the logistics of transporting equines and such might be problematic, but maybe just a little canter on the Ross Ice Shelf would suffice.

I haven't been astride a (non-metallic) steed since '98, though...
