  1. Antarctica isn't well-suited to conventional cities...but it *is* well-suited to floating cities, technology we can take off-world. As crazy as it might sound, might Earth's coldest continent be a proving ground for the solar system's hottest planet?

  3. As an aside, for all my worldbuilding on the topic and all the mentions and flybys characters in my stories have visited Venus *once*, in "The Hunt for Count Gleichen's Treasure". Maybe with regard to my stories I should circle back to that setting sometime... 🤔

  5. A vision that wouldn't look out of place in a sequel to "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". 😀 My new "Daytime snowfall in front of airships in sepia".

  7. A softened version of my piece "Daytime snowfall in front of airships", showing aerostats, prototypes of cloud cities, in even lovelier fashion.

  9. My piece "Daytime snowfall in front of airships", showing aerostats akin to early cloud-city efforts on Venus, perhaps this scene depicting a precursor mission in interior Antarctica.

  11. Cloud cities are oft thought impractical, but they may hold the key to opening up Interior Antarctica, Venus, and destinations beyond.

  13. Interior Antarctica is *very* well-suited for the cloud city concept, in as much as it's not really more technically challenging than surface construction there, and room-temperature air is tremendously warmer than the cold ambient air, maximizing lift.

  15. Thinking about colonizing Antarctica, it occurs to me: why bother with igloos, caves, skis, sleds, or buildings on stilts when you could just float above it all, landing wherever whenever? Nuclear cruise zeppelins might be the ideal homesteads.
