PROJECT ICEBERG VIDEOS

Megan Berg is putting out a series of videos documenting ANDRILL and the history behind it. There is a new one each week. The videos may be found at:

http://www.andrill.org/iceberg/videos/2007/index.html

There are different download options, depending on whether you have a quick connection or a dial-up connection.

Chris and I are in the 2nd video, entitled "Antarctic Geology." The first video provides a good overview of what it's like to travel to Antarctica and work at McMurdo Station. The third video talks about the history of Antarctic exploration, and emphasizes the last International Polar Year, which took place in 1957. Several of the scientists who took part in some of the first Antarctic research efforts are interviewed.
