Ice Station Zebra

Get your melting ice while you can! Festooned with national flags, everyone wants a piece of the pie . . . Is the world just a pie for devouring, a giant sugar bowl?  Mineral rights, mineral wrongs, minerals be going going gone.


















Hands across the water: grabbing for the drill points . . . 

Anybody seen a downed satellite around here?  Mexican Standoff in the Arctic. Ice Station Zebra (1968).

  
Claims on the far side of the globe: Antarctica. "Run Like a Villian to the sugar bowl . . ."  It ain't no "saccharine suburb in the mush!"*
                                                                                                        
Gang's all here -- guns drawn, as usual . . .

Today's Rune: Strength.  *"Run Like a Villain" -- Iggy Pop, "Zombie Birdhouse," 1982.

I loved that book, which I read long before I saw the movie. I did enjoy the movie too, though.

I know I saw this but can't remember it at all.
