2009 Daily Journey Updates
Welcome to the Students On Ice Antarctic University Expedition 2009!
We are very proud to welcome you to our 9th annual Students on Ice expedition to Antarctica, the Students on Ice - International Polar Year Antarctic University Expedition 2009! This is also our very first University credit course program.
This year we are thrilled to have an extraordinary team of 71 students from around the world, and 17 phenomenal scientists, polar experts, educators and expedition team members travelling south to the World's Greatest Classroom – Antarctica! This year's expedition is also special because it has been endorsed by the International Polar Year Joint Committee as an official event of the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2009.
