Ice Stories ... Documenting Adventures

"Welcome to Ice Stories: Dispatches from Polar Scientists, where you'll meet penguin biologists, glaciologists, cosmologists, geologists, and marine scientists working in Antarctica and the Arctic. We gave them cameras and blogging tools and asked them to document their adventures, so you can learn more about their research in their archived blog posts, photos, videos, and Webcasts. This experiment, in celebration of the International Polar Year (2007-08), was our effort to give an up-close-and-personal look at research in extreme environments through the thoughts and experiences of the scientists working there" (Exploratorium, 2015).

"This site offers videos, photos, and blogs from scientists engaged in research in the Arctic and Antarctica as well as footage of the South Pole that viewers can watch live. The biologist, geologist, glaciologists and marine scientist record and document their adventures so readers can learn about their research" (Exploratorium, 2015).

There is a station camera in the South Pole and Antarctica, in which the image is refreshed every 90 seconds.
