Journal Entry

The time is here, everyone! In less than 24 hours I will be on schedule to head out of the United States, bound for the Arctic Circle where I will meet the Operation IceBridge Team in Thule, Greenland! We've been gearing up in Coal Township with preK-12 activities, full school assemblies, and live chats with the IceBridge Team. I will update you soon when I'm on my way and I can't wait to start reading all of your comments and questions in the "Ask the Team" Section! I'll leave you with a few photos from the week, as I continue to pack and get ready to hit the road (air).

Question of the Day

What kind of plane is Miss Piggy? What is she used for when she's not flying at low altitudes over glaciers?
