We just received a message from George and Joel Dawson - that means they are back in South America and they made the crossing safely from Antarctica. They now have officially visited all 7 continents. We can't wait until they are back home in Tallahassee Wednesday and are showing us all of their pictures.
George and Joel live three doors from us in Tallahassee. They are our best friends there. They have taken over the role as our "godparents." George and Joel were both science teachers in their former life - George also was a science education professor for 30 years and Joel was a school principal and science supervisor.
In the one picture - you can see their "cruise icebreaker" in the background. Notice that Antarctica has land contrasting to the North Pole which is free floating ice. Until March 21st - the sun is in the sky in Antarctica although it is very low. On March 21st it goes down below the horizon for 6 months.
Now George must buy Joel a ring with 7 different color stones in it representing each continent they visited together. :-)
Here are the 5 pictures they sent.
