Well- it finally happened. Just under nine months after we started asking for you to submit pictures of you and your friends and family sporting Thrashers gear around the country and abroad we got a picture from Antarctica. After roughly 200 submissions we have all seven continents covered and our fans have gone to the ends of the earth while wearing jerseys, hats, t-shirts or scarves all adorned with Thrashers logos and wordmarks. From the South Pole to Iceland, Alaska to South Africa, New Zealand to Northern Ireland, The Great Wall to Machu Pichu, India to Iraq- you've been pretty much everywhere. I'd go so far as to say that no other team in the NHL can boast a group of fans more well traveled than ours.

As for our fan at the South Pole, he's actually from right here in Atlanta. I asked Chad what took him to the most desolate place on the planet and here was his response:

"I'm a crew chief (aircraft mechanic) stationed at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. There is a handful of us from Robins assisting the New York National Guard here in Antarctica. The Guard deploys ski equipped C-130s to Antarctica to assist the National Science Foundation in running supplies to the South Pole and other various outlined camps. Sea vessels will bring supplies to McMurdo Station, and then we will fly the supplies from there. The C-130s take off from an ice runway on the Ross Ice Shelf, and then can land on snow or ice throughout the continent. So I'm here to support the aircraft.... and help bring the Thrashers on the road.

Can't wait to get home and see the Thrashers clinch the division.

Chad"

This feature has been an overwhelming success and we never thought it would get this big. We know it can get even bigger though, so keep sending us your pictures. There are plenty of states and countries that haven't been represented yet. Who knows- maybe we'll get a shot from space one of these days. Surely there's an astronaut out there who is a Thrashers fans.
