Seriously, if you were trekking and came across this, wouldn't you think you'd stumbled into the Forgotten Realms?

Too much iron in the water...
*shrugs*
We have springs around here that do the exact same thing and look the exact same way.

I would have thought it to be a small shield volcano, what with it spewing out red stuff. Not that I would have cared to find out that I was wrong; Antartica isn't a place I'd like to go to.

that's cool, but nothing out of the ordinary for me. i'm from PEI and the oxidization process causes our sand, dirt & clay to turn a bright, rusty red.

though if you're lucky, you'll see a sea of rust.

I've seen a "sea of rust" inside of a toilet bowl... damn hard water.

Wow, that's so cool. You're the first PEIite I've ever...met? E-met? Cyber-met?

Isn't that where the Vikings were supposed to have had a settlement for a while?

I have family on PEI, on my maternal grandmother's side of the family. Never met any of them.

that's anse-au-meadows, in newfoundland.

we had a bunch of french farming & fishing settlements who were traded back & forth between the french and english for a bit.

Went to PEI once when I was in Scouts. That was fun. It was a Canadian Jamboree, and I was pretty young. Haven't been back since, but I'd go again. Actually, I have a business idea that would only work out there. But it's a secret to everyone.


I would also like to go to Antarctica. I've lived in North America and Asia, and I've visited Australia. I will certainly visit Europe unless I die young, and probably Africa (my wife wants to visit Egypt). South America is only a maybe, same with Antarctica. They would largely be for completeness, though checking out ancient ruins in South America is something the wife would love to do, and I'd be happy enough to accompany.
