Fiennes out of Antarctic expedition

Shame - probably his last chance of doing something like this given his age. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21571870

A shame indeed.
Sustained frostbite simply by removing his glove!
It gets down to -60 c, that's some temp drop.

There was an interesting interview this afternoon on Radio 4's PM with the plastic surgeon who treated him the last time he suffered frostbite and who said he is expecting a call from him soon.
