"I got a huge knot in my stomach because if Antarctica could talk, it would be saying only one thing: you don't belong here. (277)"

The thing that is most beautiful about Antarctica for me is the light. It's like no other light on Earth, because the air is so free of impurities. You get drugged by it, like when you listen to one of your favorite songs. The light there is a mood-enhancing substance.
