Other Antarctic blogs....

Thought I'd share with you some choice Antarctic blogs you may like to dip into:

My absolute favourites, from the guys down at Port Lockroy (Base 'A' now run as a living museum and post office by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust) - http://www.ukaht.org/portlockroydiaries.htm and http://rachelhazellisaway.wordpress.com/ and http://helen-in-antarctica.blogspot.com/ - they're just about at the end of the season down there now...

http://antarcticjournal.blogspot.com/ - written by a graduate student who is resident on Ross Island, studying penguins.

http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/living_and_working/research_stations/halley/halleyvi/ - the British Antarctic Survey's blog featuring a Halley Station webcam.

http://www.udel.edu/PR/UDaily/2008/nov/blog111607.html - University of Delaware blog from the South Pole.

http://web2.clarkson.edu/projects/antarctica/blog/ - John Bean's Antarctic blog from the US base McMurdo.

I'll be looking forward to reading Ben Saunders' SOUTH expedition blog - http://www.bensaunders.com/south/ SOUTH will be the first return journey to the South Pole on foot, and the longest unsupported (human-powered) polar journey in history.

http://www.dumont-durville.ift.fr/ - a blog from the French base Dumont d'Urville (amazing photo of the southern lights on there at the moment) - this is very close to where March of the Penguins was filmed...

Any other recommendations are most welcome!

Another good one I found is www.adventure-antarctica.de. Lots of pretty pictures from the South Pole.

Hello Nikki,
I have had a great time reading through your blog about Antarctica. I am a student teacher in a second grade class in Essex, VT, and we will be starting a unit about antarctica soon. I hope to really engage the children in a study of the many facets of Antarctica. I was wondering if you would be able to field some questions about your experiences living in Antarctica from the students. I think communicating with a person who has first hand experiences would be an exciting way to learn about the area. Thanks for your time,
Best,
Melissa Cabral
