Folks, this is not a joke.
I need your help to send me to Antarctica! The bottom of the world, the last unspoiled place on Earth….Ant-freakin-arctica!
Quark Expeditions is searching for an official blogger to join a voyage to Antarctica. I’ve thrown my hat into the ring. When it comes to travel blogging I think I’m the guy for the job.
Getting to Antarctica is pretty simple. I need to have the most votes by September 30. I will probably need several thousand to win. If I win, you’ll get a front row seat to view Antarctica through my eyes and my camera lens, and as always, you’ll be able to ask questions and make requests to me directly. If I win I’ll even do a video of me doing snow angles in Antarctica.
All you have to do to vote is visit my page on the Quark Expedition contest site and click on the button that says “Vote for Me”. That’s it.
It does require a quick registration as a check against vote fraud.
Not only do I need everyone’s vote, but I’m also going to need as much help drumming up votes as possible so I’m going to be rallying the blogosphere on this one. Everyone with a blog who makes a post in support of me in the contest will get a front page link on the front page my site for the end of September. It will be listed in the “Antarctica Honor Roll” on the right hand column. Just let me know in the comments and I’ll add your link.
If you have a Twitter account, please reTweet this post and if you have friends on Facebook, please pass this along as well.
Of all the places I’ve been, Antarctica would be the biggest feather in my cap. I’ll need your help to do it. If you like what I do on this site, your vote would be a great way of showing it. If you hate what I do, you can’t send me any farther away than Antarctica :)
Alternatively, you can take a trip to Cho Oyo at 8201 meters above sea level.
I voted!

Just voted! Best of luck Gary – if there are any travel bloggers I know that can pull this off, it’s you!
Man, what I would give to take an adventure to Antarctica!! I am afraid my reader numbers are no where near enough to make me eligible to win any sort of trip, so I will throw my support behind you! I hope you win.
Also, for non-blogger educators, another similar campaign called “Antarctica 2041″ lets teachers win a polar expedition in November 2009. Check it out: http://www.terracurve.com/2009/07/06/teachers-can-win-an-eco-adventure-to-antarctica/
I’ll help any way I can, good luck!
Vote submitted! Can’t wait to watch an adventure to Antarctica up close :)
Vote submitted! :)
