Antarctica

If you thought it was cold where you were.....think again!

In temperatures colder than your freezer at home, 29 scientists, researchers and support personnel were out walking on the snow and ice of Antarctica.

These people only have limited contact with the rest of the world – during winter, travel is often impossible and phone/e-mail are only available when a satellite passes overhead. Some of them havent seen anyone outside their station since February!

We hope that the Global Diabetes Walk gave them the feeling that they were not alone. A message that we would like to send to everyone with diabetes around the world.
