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.

World Climate Change Milestone

Have you seen this news?  It's an important milestone for us all to take note.  I call this a climate game changer!  Our sea, the animal kingdom, our weather and numerous consequences are upon us.  Be kind, stay aware.  What if our thoughts and feelings influence how we successfully shift this potential threat to the planet, and therefore ourselves?

Climate Collision Course: CO2 Levels About to Hit 400 PPM

In a first in human history, "it looks like the world is going to blow through the 400-ppm level without losing a beat."
