COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

The AAE is in Antarctica!

We set up on sea ice to broadcast our first Hangout on Air from Antarctica. And what a Hangout! During our time on air we had Adelie penguins curiously watching by, a solitary emperor penguin who came to check us out and then against all odds an Orca (popularly known as a killer whale) patrolled the sea ice edge next to us while we were broadcasting. An amazing day! Hope you enjoy the footage.
