[edit] Did she recover?!?!

How she's doing and whether or not she still has breast cancer should be mentioned. – Lantoka (talk) 09:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

^^^She is in decent health, living in New England, and got remarried. However, seeing as none of that is really currently sourceable, we can't include it in wikipedia... 141.39.213.24 10:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Sabbatical"??

Hello, my name is Petra and I'm normally a user of the Dutch wikipedia. I read the book of Jerri Nielsen in Dutch and I wouldn't use the word "sabbatical" for her year at the station: She was hired to look after the health of all workers at the station, giving first aid (and actually in the winter months giving also second, third and ALL aid that was possible since the station was indeed closed-off from any outside help). She was the only doctor at the station during winter, and she received some extra trainings to help with for example dental problems since that was not included in her basic training as a doctor. In the book I read that it was for her indeed a chance to get away from her normal life and think about it, but for me the word "sabbatical" sounds like she went to the south pole for a holiday of some kind. Perhaps someone better at English than me could come up with a nice sentence about this? 145.88.209.33 12:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Temperature

winter temperatures can plummet to 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) below zero (Celsius)

Would someone please do a copyedit on this? Mixing units is very confusing. FYI: 0°C ≈ 32°F, 0°F ≈ -18°C so I understand that temperatures go as low as -68°F which is equivalent of about -56°C. Does it sound right? 02:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Note: This was fixed by the edit of 3 June 2007. The article now gives the winter temperature from the South Pole article on both temperature scales. Dirac66 (talk) 19:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
