The parka-clad monarch and his crew of seven faced low visibility and cracks in the ice that caused two people to slip into chilly waters. (They were unharmed.) What will His Royal Greenness do next to promote environmentalism? "Maybe--I emphasize maybe," he said, "I will make a trip to the South Pole."
