| For teachers : See science in action at the South Pole through live and archived webcasts. |
|
| In a series of live webcasts, held in celebration of the International Polar Year 2007-2008, educators at the Exploratorium in San Francisco will be talking throughout the month with scientists at McMurdo Station near the south pole about the many research projects they're conducting. For instance, this season three giant helium balloons will launch near McMurdo Station and circulate in circumpolar air currents above Antarctica, collecting data about cosmic rays which are very high energy particles that zip through the galaxy at nearly the speed of light.
