What is your Antarctic Connection?
For decades, a 3M 209 copier quietly worked at the South Pole.
Today it has one final job — collecting the stories of people whose lives have been touched by Antarctica. It might be a single moment. A friendship. A photograph. A season on the Ice. A family connection. Or simply the way Antarctica found its way into your life.
Whatever your connection, there is a page for you.
Meet Karl…
“I went to work to fix a copier —
I didn’t expect to reach the South Pole.”
Karl Marshall answered the phone on a Monday morning in 1975. By Friday, he was standing at the South Pole repairing a 3M 209 photocopier.
