Antarctica: Scientific Journeys from McMurdo to the Pole
The List hopes its gentle members are warmly and comfortably ensconced in a
cozy corner as they head off to today's website from the folks at the
Exploratorium and sponsored by the National Science Foundation, for here is
another Antarctic journey. Although this particular expedition wrapped up
on January 12th, 2002 with its final webcam broadcast, the field notes and
photos are available online.
This is an excellent website with fascinating photos and expansive science
notes along with details of the experiences of the team from the
Exploratorium Museum. Discover more about the "last continent" through the
investigation of the scientific work being carried out there. Learn why
cosmologists have set up shop in Antarctica and delve into the research
being done in the "Dry Valleys". Don't miss the image of the blue light in
the fumarole on Mt. Erebus. Really!
Trek your way to the forbidding Antarctic ice fields; discover its beauty
and a beehive of scientific inquiry at:
