  Simon:Hi SHS 10C! I think I would miss the following:
  
  – Walking in a forest – any season, any weather!
  – The sound and feel of the wind!
  – A long hot shower!
  
  What would you miss?

  Well, I have been isolated here in Antarctica for almost a year (9 months of that as a crew of 13 people!). Here one of the biggest things I have missed is jumping in the sea and going for a swim!! Other things I have missed are the simple things, like fresh fruit, spending time with friends and family, shopping etc.

I’d miss my friends and family, the feel of sunshine on my face and fresh air.
