No, never to Antractica. Closest I've been is Mumbai, which is South of the Tropic of Cancer, so still heating up. A good read is "Endurance" by F.A. Worsley. This gal will kick your antarcticass: http://www.hannahmckeand.com/home.php
As far as donating to the trip... I have a pair of choppers... ha ha!
