| The Millennium Expedition Review Bob Christ, organizer of skydiving expeditions to the South Pole states on his web site: "To me, the Antarctic is not a place but an experience. This has truly been the hardest trial of my life to bring this expedition about. But for the places that I have seen and the people I have come to know along the way, I have been left a changed person for the life experiences gained during the course of this project. And I thank you all for sharing this with me". |

Now he's sharing his impressions from the Millennium Expedition which took place over the course of several weeks in late-December 1999 through early-January 2000 culminating in a mass parachute jump at midnight [EDT] on January 1, 2000 at Patriot Hills as well as several hot-air balloon flights on the continent of Antarctica (including a flight at the Geographic South Pole).
The trip involved a large group of scientists, aviation enthusiasts and sportsmen from around the world brought together to bring positive public awareness to the plight of the Antarctic environment.
