Just wrapped up an 1,100mi road trip from San Diego to the Grand Canyon. Driving electric without range anxiety through the expansive Mojave Desert thanks to the supercharger network and the @Tesla team.
@JesseInSD@Tesla Have done a few road trips with my MS 85and MR RWD and no range anxiety at all due to the @Tesla supercharger network. This is what sets Tesla apart from all other EVs
Returning from the Pole, Scott’s party went ‘geologising’ on the Beardmore Glacier #OnThisDay in 1912. The fossils were later confirmed to be the extinct Glossopteris plant of Gondwana, proving #Antarctica had been part of the super-continent 250 millions yrs ago, pic @scottpolar

The beginning of a rich legacy: it's International Day of Women in Science, 50 years ago this year, the first women arrived at the South Pole; 6 in total, 5 scientists, 1 science writer. Today, thousands of women work in Antarctic science #WomenInScience#STEM, pic @USNavy
‘Horrible, horrible’ - Amundsen reacted when told the news #OnThisDay#OTD in 1913, polar expedition ship Terra Nova reached New Zealand from #Antarctica; a telegram to newspapers alerted the world to Scott’s tragic fate, photo @scottpolar
Record! Gisteren heeft Nederland op een dag gemiddeld meer dan 4000 MW windelektriciteit (#onshore en #offshore) geproduceerd. Dat was voldoende voor 28% van onze elektriciteitsvraag. #windenergie#grafiekvandedag
Reminder that the Tesla Referral Program is ending on Feb 1. Until then, you can give your friends six months of free Supercharging if they order via your referral link
"She's going down!" Shackleton shouted #OnThisDay#OTD in 1915 Endurance finally sank beneath the sea ice of the Weddell Sea, all survived. Built in Norway in 1912, the ship was sold to Shackleton in 1914. "Fortitudine vincimus" (By endurance we conquer) - Shackleton family motto
And so it ends…first plane of the season lands at the South Pole, bringing an end to 8 months of isolation. Arriving from Rothera, en route to McMurdo, the Basler BT-67 is a remanufactured DC-3 (new engines, strengthened airframe & modified wings), pic David Wolf @NSF @NSF_OPP
