Oops, Wrong Planet

"Damnit, Scotty, you set the coordinates wrong again! And what happened to our uniforms?"

[Alex Huber, Stephan Siegrist, and Thomas Huber, left to right, in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Read the story of their three new routes here.]

  2. It's like an album cover from the ’80s.

    Stephan is clearly thinking:
    Alex fell again, look at all the snow on his knees. This guy can't handle horizontal ground.
    Alex is thinking:
    why did Thomas not shave his chest? This is going to ruin the picture.
    Thomas is thinking:
    I hope my wife does not see this.
