Anthony Jinman, the UK Arctic explorer, works hard as usual. This time he is arranging International Scott Centenary Expedition 2012 dedicated to Captain Robert Falcon Scott RN, who a century ago set out with his companions for the South Pole and never returned. Now their descendents will embark on a journey of commemoration. They will lead a sledging team to Captain Scott’s final resting place, to meet relatives from all five families involved and hold a memorial service for the nation.

ISCE 2012 is a part of the Education Through Expeditions project, that you might find in my list of Cold-Related Projects.

GOOD NEWS!

If you are 18-30 year old, there is a chance for you to join that expedition. Anthony Jinman announced the competition. What you need to do is to write an article of 500-1,000 words entitled: “Why Captain Scott is important to me.”

More about the writing competition on the FB page ISCE Daily Telegraph Competition.

The Portal.

Two Arctic/North Pole scientific expeditions. Take your time and enjoy the Arctic! This beauty is fragile. Climate changes and global warming, you know, do gain ground.

Video #1: Jean-Louis Etienne’s Generali Arctic Observer

A famous French Arctic explorer Jean-Louis Etienne’s The North Pole balloon crossing from Spitsbergen to Siberia’s Yakutia in April of 2010. Check out the Generali Arctic Observer expedition website. More info on his landing and rescue operation in Siberia’s Yakutia, north from the village of Batagai, Verkhoyansky region, at eYakutia.com.

Video #2: North Pole + Nuclear Icebreaker Yamal + Magic of Arctic Ice

From Russia’s Chukotka via the North Pole to Scandinavia by the Russian nuclear powered ice-breaker “Yamal”. You may also want to go to the North Pole. Hurry up! The Arctic is melting fast. It sounds like a joke, but, unfortunately, it is not.
