The Southern Ocean is notoriously dangerous for high seas and massive storms. Today I wouldn't have even wanted to fly there either. Definately a feet up, tea and biscuits day for the pilots.

 

 

Tea and biscuits? What did they do to deserve them exactly?  :huh:

Can't really tell what is going on based on that chart.

 

Besides it being a bit nippy... seems the wx not so bad at the South Pole Station at the moment: http://www.usap.gov/videoClipsAndMaps/spwebcam.cfm

Weather is fine in New Zealand today....but you can see that on that weather map  :lol:

Well, thinking about whether or not to go is in itself a valid excuse to put the kettle on and reach for the biscuit tin!
