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.

This blog is a record of my travel to Antarctica in October through December 2007 to participate in an international geological drilling program called ANDRILL. ANDRILL recovered cores of sedimentary rock from the sea floor beneath the Ross Sea, with the objective of learning more about Antarctica's climatic history over the past 50 million years.
