Get involved with Project Iceberg
 Project Iceberg provided live and current information from Joanna and the other educators involved with ANDRILL as well as opportunities for interaction. One of the main vehicles for Project Iceberg information was a blog focusing on inquiry science using science notebooks through challenges, scenarios with geoscience data, and discussion questions. Any individual can go to the Web site and access these.

ANDRILL
The ANtarctic geological DRILLing project is a multinational collaboration of more than 200 scientists and educators from Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States that will be recovering stratigraphic records from the Antarctic margin by drilling a series of hard-rock cores from underneath the Ross Sea. The chief objective is to drill back in time to recover a history of paleoenvironmental changes to help us understand the role Antarctica plays in the global climate and what effects global climate changes have on Antarctica.
This is only one of the many International Polar Year events happening around the world. Find out about others at www.ipy.org.

 Joanna's message to participants
Hi, I'm Anchorage science educator Joanna Hubbard and I want you to join me in Antarctica this fall. Starting on Oct. 8 through the beginning of December I'll be at McMurdo Station working with ANDRILL, a multinational scientific drilling project. This group of more than 60 scientists and technicians will be working to recover a long sedimentary rock core from the sea floor beneath the sea ice of McMurdo Sound. From this rock core we hope to learn more about the past environment, climate, and geologic history of Antarctica. Connect with what I'm doing in Antarctica by checking out my blog at the Project Iceberg Web site.
