Suggestion Antarctica is missing from the Country list

**GeroniMoe** · 07-12-2014, 03:56 PM

While submitting my World Pentax Day photo, I discovered that Antarctica is not on the country list for where the photo was taken. I put New Zealand in this time - it's the closest listed country - but adding Antarctica to the list might not be too difficult an update, and would allow photos to be more appropriately categorized!

Cheers!

It's not really a country, but I've added it to the list

Looking forward to seeing your shots!

Wow. We have a forum member on Antarctica. Now if you are as brave as User @heie and can do some serious cool weather demonstrations on your own very precious gear.... we will then have the ultimate prove that Pentax is tough as nails and the ultimate all weather brand..

Enjoy your tour.

I work down here - with the Fire Department at McMurdo Station... Been coming down for several months at time since 2007 (7 seasons total - 6 summers and this current winter). This tour, I've been here since early October and will be here through late August. Tours generally last anywhere from 4-12 months, depending on the job and the level of sanity of the person in question. More info available if you want it...
