Hello Garry - My students enjoyed the video conference - they keep asking if we are going to talk to that "guy from Australia" How was your trip back? I would love to hear more about the polar bear in the kitchen!

Have really enjoyed looking at your website and have nicked a few choice photos for inclusion in UltraFeedback's next corporate publication.Thanks for making my job a bit more interesting today
I'm heading off the snow myself in 3 weeks and hope to see some of those arctic dogs, or at least huskies!
Hope you've well and truely thawed off by now!

Hi Gary,
The family loved looking at the pictures of the polar bear outside the kitchen...especially as we were in a lovely safe warm house in Cheddington (yes, more Cheddingtonians).

Hi Gary,
We have thoroughly enjoyed looking at your photos of the polar bears. My son was completing a project on the arctic for school and we looked at your site for inspiration. Good luck form Cheddington England

Hi Garry: We have been following your adventures with great interest. The pictures have been so good. Your information challenged us to think more about our world. Have a safe tirp back to Aus and we hope to see there someday.

Hi Garry,
Off on another incredible adventure I see. What a great experience - the pictures are incredible. What a joy it has been for us getting to know you and your family since the first time we met in San Diego, CA. Wish we hadn't missed you while we were in Sydney, but we'll hopefully catch up one of these days.
We wish all the best for you and your family.
Be safe and God Bless,

We have passed on details of your blog to our friends in Cheddington....everyone is fascinated, and very impressed that William has such an interesting Uncle!! Keep your eyes peeled for naughty PBs. We are really enjoying checking out your latest updates, and will miss them when you return to Australia. It snowed here on Tuesday!!

Great learning experience! Can´t imagine what is life in such harsh conditions. I bet you will have many other stories to tell when you get back home. Cheers!!!

Fantastic chronicle of science - human, funny, detailed, informative, passionate ... a real treasure. I think this set a standard for all Earthwatch volunteers. Look forward to catching up on your return - travel well.

Hi ArcticGarry
We heard you on the radio this morning! The kids would have heard it on the way to school. It was just on 9am. That was great. Sounded like you were only next door. Great interview. Having seen your pictures in the photoalbums I could visualize what you were describing. I'd love to see the snow, but not so keen on the winds. Keep up the good work and don't get caught by those polar bears.
Geesje, Nicole and Ineke
