The Flag Quest
Ask and you shall receive! The request went out over four months ago. I enlisted the help of Facebook, my friends and the amazing networking capabilities of today's social sites. To date I have over 150 flags from over 40 states, three countries and over 25 just from Arizona. I might not have reached every state but I do feel quite successful in our goal of spreading the word.
One hundred and fifty flags from around America and the world!
I leave in less than two days, the flags are still coming in and I could not be happier. Friends from my past, new friends. Students, children of previous students. Peers from work, people from the community at our “Pole to Pole” presentation.

If the number of flags is indicative of the individuals following along on this expedition, boy do I have my work cut out for me. On average, five flags will be highlighted every day and when we tie them all together, what an amazing sight the southern ocean will see, for we have brought the world with us on this journey of exploration, discovery and science.
Flags, flags and more flags
Thank you Anna Nikolaeva, your students outdid themselves and your amazing Russian flag will travel to the Southern Ocean.
