Science On The Ice - A Media Expedition to the Bottom of the World

The authors were guests on a National Science Foundation media trip to Antarctica. They were given a spectacular week-long tour of the science facilities at McMurdo Station -- the largest of the U.S. stations -- as well as Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and the Dry Valleys and Cape Royds field camps. They will share pictures and video of the important science being conducted in the harshest climate on Earth and attempt to show what life is like on the ice, including at the South Pole where fewer than 5,000 people have ever stood.
