I haven't got the faintest idea where you get the link from but I have seen some sites with a map that shows where all their members live. Thought it might be worthwhile doing here...I think it would be intresting to see the distribution of Acaeum members across the globe. :?:

Perhaps there could be a prize for the most obscure abode of an Acaeum member?

Frappr, typically.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Vacation schedules and alarm codes would also be helpful. :twisted:

In fact am heading north of the Circle again in a few days.

Did I tell you guys about traveling from Costa Rica to Svalbard in February?

Met a guy from Cambridge up there, went out on snowmobiles for a few days from cabin to cabin (-50 windchill, blowing snowstorms), looking for polar bears and the inimitable svalbard reindeer, and was going on about how I was prob'ly the first guy ever to show up on the archipelago while still taking malaria pills (not to mention the fact that half my face was swollen and miscolored from a run-in with a poison dart frog that damn near left me partially numb permanently, but so far the only remaining damage is a facial scar), but he just scoffed and said I'd been beaten by 14 years by a guy who had done the same. Bastard. (both of them.)

Anyway, sounds like a good way to map out the collections we'd all most like to pillage.

Let mirth prevail!

Well, we could post city-only information and not specific addresses.

I've nothing no one would want to pillage... but, you can't have it anyway!

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

One of my old teachers at the Australian National University (palynologist), went from an extended field trip in West Papua (Irian Jaya) straight to Antarctica. His claim to fame is being the first person to actually come down with malaria while in Antarctica. That lucky guy has also been to all the islands in the Tristan da Cunha group.

I guess the closest my claim to fame would be spending the night in five different countries in the same week and three of those countries I didn't even get to sleep.

You have my envy. I'd love to see Svalbard. (Not so Costa Rica.) I haven't been anywhere north of Geiranger.

I've spent a month in the far north of Norway: Lofoten Islands, TromsÃ¸, Kirkenes, Ã˜vre Pasvik NP, Karasjok etc. One of the best trips of my life and some of the most beautiful terrain on the planet. Never made it to Svalbard though - one day......
