Century Old Antarctic Expedition Notebook Found Underneath Ice
An anonymous reader writes During his second expedition to Antarctica, British explorer Robert Scott—and most of his team—died from overexposure to the elements. Over 100 years after their deaths, an artifact from his journey has surfaced. New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust reports that they have found a notebook which tracked Scott's last Terra Nova Expedition. According to the Antarctic Heritage Trust, the notebook belonged to a surgeon, photographer and zoologist named George Murray Levick, who accompanied Scott at the unfortunate Terra Nova expedition. Executive Director Nigel Watson said, "It's an exciting find. The notebook is a missing part of the official expedition record. After spending seven years conserving Scott's last expedition building and collection, we are delighted to still be finding new artifacts."
Has anyone asked preeminent mathematician Bennett Haselton if this notebook has any insights into optimizing the ice lines at Burning Man? I will not listen to anyone else's opinion of the importance of this notebook unless Bennett weighs in on it. He's a frequent contributor.
Yea but the frequent contributor Bennett might be able to offer some way to optimize the MacBook so it doesn't need an Ethernet port for ice delivery
