When Philip Brocklehurst went to Antarctica, he brought back his own toes as a souvenir. In a jar. That was in the early days of Antarctic tourism (1908 as part of Ernest Shackleton’s unsuccessful attempt on the Pole). Were he to have made the trip with us in 2004, on board MS Explorer II, he’d probably have picked up a proper souvenir such as a Swarovski crystal frog — from one of the ship’s two souvenir shops.
