Compare the Poles

Here is a nifty (... can I still use that word??) site I came across - Click: Polar Discovery. It is a great education site with everything from a side by side comparison of physical features of the two poles to the difference in seasons & weather and plants & wildlife.

Also within this site is - Click: Live from the Poles. This portion of the site is designed to give you an in-depth inside look at four major scientific expeditions to the south and north poles. They record their experiences - even what they eat for lunch, according to the site- through a tw0 person media team, a photographer and a science writer. The updates will consist of daily writings and photo essays documenting the expeditions experiences, from how they are keeping warm to the scientific findings and the tools used to obtain them. Two of the expeditions have passed, a third (to Antarctica) will start November 26th, 2007 and run through December 23rd, 2007. It looks to be an interesting experience for readers, I will definitely be checking in.

Update - The expedition has begun, to follow the journey click - To the ice at last
