Educational Learnings

Thus far this blog has been dedicated to the experiences I have had on my expedition to Antarctica. These next few postings are going to be dedicated to educational learning's with pictures I captured.
  1. What is the difference between the Arctic and Antarctic?
  2. Icebergs - how are they made? Are there more than one kind? Where do they go?
  3. What whales did we see? How do they feed? How do you tell them apart?
  4. Penguins -Boy, did we see penguins. What types? Who are their predators? Do they stay on the ice?
  5. Seals-What types and food source?
  6. Who owns Antarctica?
  7. More, more, more

These postings should be educational to all, but I want to make sure all the students have some of their science, wildlife and geography questions answered. I'm not an expert, but I learned quite a bit on this expedition and I want to share this knowledge with the students. The list above is not a comprehensive list, so if there is something specific you would like to know or understand, please send me your question through the comment section.
