ANTARCTICA - The temperature hovers around zero degrees all day. You're surrounded by ice, and depending on how strong the wind is, the temperature can drop to nearly 50 degrees below zero.

Quincy Champion says that Antarctica is so cold, you have to wear special clothing to prevent freezing to death.

Despite the conditions, he's glad to have gone there three times.

"It's a beautiful place," he said.
