A South Pole Adventure

I've stumbled across a blog that started only recently. Normally, I wouldn't pay much attention to something that may not last very long. In this case, however, I'm fascinated by the subject: it will record a journey to the South Pole by an astrophysicist who will measure

"properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation, a relic glow left over from the big bang"

Now that's exciting. I'll be following this journey with interest.
