You collect polar regions books/dvds ? Global warming in a freezing cold place? Penguins are cute but to have them all over your apartment is a bit strange no ? What can you possibly want to see down there?

Along the past 10 years I have been trying to answer these  questions and explain people why I have this fascination for the Antarctica, why this dream!

Hi, my name is Luís, I’m a 29 years old Portuguese guy, I have two sisters and one brother, all born and raised in a small town in the North of Portugal - Vila Real! I work in IT and for fun I host a radio show and write a personal blog, kind of a tragic and comic life diary.

My friends say it’s a cool dream and my family is already used to my crazy ideas, so now I just need to convince you I'm the man for the job!

What I can promise:

- I’ll not omit personal details which in my case are normally hilarious! If a penguin "bites" my *ss for example…you’ll know how bad it felt!

- Feelings in words, images and sounds. My camera and microphone are ready, hope they don't freeze!

- I will use this unique opportunity to spread the word on how global warming is affecting the Antarctica. We shall and will do better in order to preserve our world.

- This will be our adventure so I'll try to learn and share everything the best way I can.

If I get that call and hop into this Quark expedition, I can assure you: “It’s gonna be legendary” ;)

See you soon,

Luís Monteiro
