Hey all,
Lots in the news lately about Antarctica (even I know about some of this stuff and my only access is an 8 page NYT digest and any email I receive). From new species to international intrigue on the high seas, Antarctica is hot! Hope that you are keeping tabs on all of the events.
One ongoing sciencey event for the next year or so is the International Polar Year, a coordinated effort to learn, among other things, more about the rapid changes occurring near the poles. Many of the scientists on this cruise are involved in extensive cross-discipine research funded and organized under IPY. Also, IPY has a link to this blog on their site. So I think it's correct blog etiquette to get the word out.
Anyway, I have not visited the site, but it is likely worth a visit just to see some of the other types of projects which are ongoing, not only at sea, but "on the ice", and on the other side of the planet.
More later...
