Not all explorers wore fur-lined coats. Meet Karl, the technician who found himself at the South Pole by accident.
“I answered the phone on a Monday morning by Friday I was at the South Pole servicing the photocopier!”
Karl Marshall - 3M Copier technician 1967
Now it's your turn.
You don't need to have travelled to the South Pole.
Antarctic has touched the hearts of so many and
the 209 is a place to collect the pages that keep this heart beat alive.
Every beat counts.
What will you share on your page?
Why your page matters.
The 209 is more than a photocopier.
For years it quietly copied reports, letters, field notes and discoveries in Antarctica. Today it has one final purpose.
To collect the stories that matter.
Every page added to the 209 becomes part of
The Visitors Book
— a living archive of memory, connection and human experience
We cannot know who will read these pages in a hundred years.
But we know they will exist.
Leave your page.
Someone, someday, may discover it..
