Perhaps reporters don't want to go on location to cover an ebola outbreak.

Second thing is, speculation and computer graphics probably cost less than actual investigative reporting.

Aside: a couple of months ago I was called to be in a jury pool and I sat in the jury room with CNN on the TV. It was absolute torture. I could try to read, or look at the floor or at the other potential jurors, but I just couldn't block out the audio. People watch that voluntarily?

I even have it bookmarked because I get selected to test the beta site quite often.
If it ever does go live, I'm sure there will be a greasemonkey script to undo the madness, it is hated that much

There is a research station at the south pole.
She can probably crash there for a few days

My questions are:
She had a cargo rack and panniers on her trike, was that enough to carry all she needed? Did she drag a sled like many solo explorers? Was this a solo? Were there supply drops on the way? It just seems insane to attempt such a high-energy feat in such a harsh climate with the limited gear apparent in the photographs.

Congratulations, regardless of the logistics involved.
