Expedition Antarctica: Journey into the Frozen Unknown

Reposted from @wolflover_76 - Regrann from @wcff_org - Antarctica is losing ice at a rate that is about six times faster than in the late 1970s. This has resulted an increase of global sea level rise by around 0.55 inches in that time frame. Between 2009-2017, the continent lost 275 billion tons of ice and snow annually. Climate Change is for real, however it is irresponsible to blame "capitalism" solely for this problem. WCFF Mission: inform, engage and inspire wildlife conservation through the power of film. |The 9 year anniversary of the WCFF is October 17-27, 2019. Ten days of film screenings, panel discussions, receptions, field trips, networking and more.

During operation IceBridge - @nasa largest airbone survey to map Earth's polar ice, scientist Jeremy Harbeck spotted two rectancular icebergs floating off the northern Antarctic Peninsula. He says: "I thought it was pretty interesting; I often see icebergs with relatively straight edges, but i've not seen one before with two corners at such right angles like this one". The data collected during the mission will help scientists better understand processes that connect the polar regions with the global climate systems info by @nasa ❄ #eco_nnect #nasa #antarctica #icebergs #polarregions #climatechange #jeremyharbeck (presso Antarctica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqK0SqAHkMk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14o3o3qo3yzez

A new Ice, Ice, Baby unit is online and ready for use! Our new “Polar Survival” lessons are focused on the people involved in preparation for field work in the Polar Regions. Lessons show why explorers must develop awareness and solutions for hazards, such as crevasses and frigid temperatures, as well as clothing and food choices necessary for survival. The lessons associated with these topics are designed to be inquiry-based, hands-on, and to meet the NGSS standards for school districts. Check them out at the link below! https://cresis.ku.edu/content/education/k-12/lesson-plansstudent-activities/ice-ice-baby-k-8

EXPLORER FUTURE

How much more difficult was being an explorer 100 years ago? Even if you’re not that rugged you could probably get pretty far into wild territory these days with modern technology and kit alone. But you still need a timeless indomitable spirit to take on the polar regions. Like the Turner Twins, trekking 340 miles across Greenland's ice cap to raise money for Spinal Research. The kicker, one will use modern kit and the other the same as Ernest Shackleton on his Antarctica expedition. Progress in action and a marker of how far they’ve already come, every step of the way.
