The Story



We are All Antarctica is a story about my father George W. Gibbs, Jr’s adventures as the first person of African descent to set foot on the continent of Antarctica. He sailed on the famous ship the USS Bear in 1939 to 1941 on Admiral Byrd’s III expedition to the South Pole. It was the first joint venture with the US military and private exploration. Gibbs went on to serve humanity in countless ways, paving the way for not only people of color in the community of Rochester, MN but for all people to become more human, serve their community and appreciate differences.

Through compassion, tenacity, faith and countless hours in the trenches, Gibbs’ life is a model for community service, equality and fun. As the lowest rank on the ship, he was honored for his contribution at a time when people with dark skin were considered less than human.

This story integrates my experiences with natural healing, the arts, the science of the ice, the metaphysics of the South Pole and the history of the expedition and its mystery.

Antarctica and Clues from Space

I think of abundance, when I see these headlines, read these stories.  I hope that these findings will ultimately help the human race.

Huge meteorite found, largest in 25 years in East Antarctica

Salty Antarctic Pond May Hold Clues to Water on Mars.   and speaking of water, did you know about finding water in moon rocks?

 A year ago, I was just back from the South Continents. I retook the journey in my body and soul. A life changing year, so much learning.  This is my 100th post.
